YES, YOU CAN MAKE VEGAN RIBS.  

Tonia uses Beyond Meat or Impossible Meat combined with jackfruit to get the “rib” texture desired for this dish.  How genius is that?  Jackfruit is the perfect choice with its shredded texture and ability to absorb flavor like a sponge.  She then adds the best side dish for a plate of “ribs”…mac and cheez!  Also 100% plant-based.
