BBQ Trumpet Mushroom & Jackfruit (Pulled "Pork" Sandwiches)

Proof that plant-based comfort food can be every bit as satisfying as the original — king oyster mushrooms and jackfruit shred beautifully and soak up smoky, spiced BBQ flavor just like slow-cooked pork. Piled on a bun with a quick tangy slaw, it's a plant-forward sandwich worth going back for seconds.
