Today I wanted to share a way you could use the shredded bbq jackfruit recipe from last week. When I think “bbq,” two things come to mind: summer and football. So what more fitting time of year than now to talk about these bbq jackfruit grain bowls. They do NOT skimp on the flavor and I I think even your carnivorous friends will love them. 😉
I’m using brown rice, but you can use any grain you like. Even cauliflower rice! You could also nix the rice and put the rest of the ingredients on a bun. Eat it like a sandwich instead of serving them as a grain bowl—it’s your life, baby!

NOTE ABOUT THE PINEAPPLE. If you have a grill, I highly suggest cooking the pineapple that way instead of in a pan like I did. If you do grill it, cut a fresh pineapple into rounds, removing the core. Toss in the maple syrup and chili pepper and grill a couple minutes each side. You could also always put fresh pineapple in your bbq jackfruit grain bowl instead—still delicious.
Anyone else’s tongue sting when they eat raw pineapple? I read (and don’t quote me on this, I forget the source) that it’s due to an enzyme in the pineapple actually breaking down your tastebuds. Apparently if you cook the pineapple, it won’t have that effect. Just thought I’d share this unverified, un-researched fun “fact” with you so you’d have a conversation starter at your football tailgate today. 😉
Before I sign off for today, just a note about tomorrow’s workout. I WILL have a new YouTube video up, but it won’t be until the afternoon.
