Slow Cooker Barbecue Spaghetti Squash
Perfect for sandwiches
Ingredients
1/2 Spaghetti squash
3/4 cup Diced tomatoes or 1/2 cup of tomatoe sauce
1 Chipotle in Adobe or 1 teaspoon hot sauce and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
3 tablespoons Almond flour or any nut flour
1 Bay leaf
1 Scallion or a bunch of chive
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste.
Directions
Cut and scrape the seeds from the squash, wash, dry, cut off a little slice at the bottom for stability and put in a slow cooker. Fill the cavity with the 3/4 cup of diced tomatoes, 1 diced chipotle, 3 tablespoons almond flour, 1 bay leaf, salt and pepper. Cook on high for about 2 hours or until desired donness.
Remove the bay leaf. Add the scallion and parsley and separate the flesh from the skin. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
It is so good in a toasted sandwich between 2 slices of swiss cheese, better than pulled pork in my opinion.
You can double the recipe if you can fit the 2 halves in your slow cooker. I had to force them to fit. I think it is the recipe I am most proud of. We are not vegan but this is a very flavorful and satisfying plant base meal.
I was looking for a vegetarian substitute for pulled pork. I tried jack fruit and didn't like how sweet and not satisfying it is. I thought spaghetti squash is stringy so I tried and my husband and I love it better than the meat.
Eat veggies, be healthy and bon appétit!
Today's sandwich that I had with sweet potatoe fries. I could live on that.
