Mmmmm. You can put the BBQ in a bun, wrap, taco shell, or even make a damn fine lettuce wrap! I love that this recipe uses hearts of palm. Seriously, how creative???
Calories are kind of all over for this one, because it is your choice what you want to put the BBQ on. Obviously a bun would be a lot higher calorie than if you whipped up a lettuce wrap! It also depends on if you use a store bought BBQ sauce, or if you make your own.
What you'll need:
1 14.5 oz. can of Hearts of Palm (drained and pulsed several times in a food processor)
4 gluten-free/vegan hamburger buns
Red cabbage, shredded
What you'll need for BBQ sauce (or use 1 1/2 c. store bought of your chocie):
½ small yellow onion, minced
½ jalapeno, deseeded and minced
⅓ c. tomato paste
½ c. water
¼ c. red wine vinegar
3 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
1 tsp. ground mustard
½ tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. onion powder
¼ tsp. smoked paprika
⅛ tsp. liquid smoke (start with half of that, taste and add more as you see fit)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
What you'll need to do:
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté the onions and jalapeno until lightly golden.
Add the rest of the ingredients for the BBQ sauce into the saucepan and whisk together until completely combined.
Bring to a simmer over low heat and allow to cook for 10 minutes, continuously stirring.
While the BBQ sauce is simmering, add the chopped up hearts of palm into the saucepan. Stir together until completely coated and heated up (approx. 2-3 minutes).
Slather onto rolls of choice and enjoy with the toppings that suite your preference (I used shredded red cabbage and lettuce).
