  1. Drain and rinse jackfruit, remove core and shred in a bowl.
  2. Add barbecue sauce, onion, spices, and water; stir until jackfruit is coated.
  3. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.

  7. Remove from heat and serve on a low protein bun.

For the low protein buns

  1. In a bowl add water, 1 Tbsp oil, yeast, psyllium husk, and sugar. Mix well and allow to stand for 5 minutes until mixture thickens.
  2. Place low protein flour into a separate bowl. Stir and make a small well in the middle.
  3. Add psyllium husk mixture to the flour. Use your hands to combine, until a dough is formed.
  4. Knead dough for 3–5 minutes in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to proof for 30 minutes.

  6. Line a baking tray with parchment.
  7. Divide the dough into four equal parts; and shape each into a round bread bun.
