Barbecue Sandwich (Soy Free), From Hearts Of Palm
I had been looking for something that would create a stringy meaty barbecue sandwich for a while. By accident I picked up a can of hearts of palm at the grocery store, instead of the artichoke I was meaning to grab. When I got home and opened the can and saw the perfect white cylinders I didn’t know what to think. I had never seen hearts of palm and hadn’t a clue what to do with them. I dug my knife into them and studied them closer. The middle slid out and had a very stringy tender texture. And the sides were a crispier version of the middle. My imagination went to work. My mindlessness at the grocery store had struck gold. I’m not sure if this is an original idea. I did a search on google to see if someone had thought of this before. But I could not find any barbecue sandwiches using hearts of palm. So if I’ve discovered something that’s been discovered already, sorry for stepping on any toes.
Hearts of palm create an amazingly shredded pork like texture. This recipe is majorly quick and delicious! And can you believe fat free!? It’s also soy free if you opt not to use the soy sauce. This recipe is addictive! GO TO RECIPE >
I like to top my barbecue sandwich with crispy slaw. I made a quick vinegar and sugar dressing by throwing 1/4 cup of water, vinegar and sugar into a sauce pan and bringing it to a boil. Add a dash of black pepper and salt to this and pour over 3 cups of shredded cabbage.

I tried this recipe tonight and LOVED it! This is going to be something I make again and again. I never would have thought to make a barbecue sandwich with hearts of palm. I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes.

I’ve become addicted to your recipes!
I wanted to share what I did with this one. We had it on burgers one night, and then the next night, we were craving the flavors but wanted something fancier (or ran out of burger buns and pretended to be classy).
This is super yummy served on a grain (we used quinoa) with carrots on top. We sauteed our carrots in orange juice and the flavors worked magnificently together, although I was considering possibly apple juice for the carrots, or maple syrup.
Super yummy.

I’m excited to try these sammies and your BBQ sauce. I’ve never made BBQ sauce from scratch. Roughly how long will it last in the fridge?

Hmmmm, I actually don’t know how long it would keep in the fridge. I would guess maybe no more than 5 days just to be safe.

This was amazing. I was craving something with a bbq flavor, and I’ve probably made it three more times now. My meat-eating husband loved it as well!
