Directions
For the Pork
Rub pork butt with kosher salt. Place in slow cooker, fat side up. Add water, orange juice, chopped sweet onion, and season generously with Spiceology x Derek Wolf Jalapeño Lime Pilsner.
Cook on low for 6–8 hours, turning occasionally, until fork-tender. - Let rest, shred with forks (discard excess fat), and return to slow cooker to soak up those juices.
For the Corn Cakes
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Pulse 1 cup frozen corn in a food processor until coarsely pureed. Mix with softened butter, sugar, and salt. Stir in masa harina, then fold in remaining ½ cup corn by hand.
Form into 4 patties, ~1" thick. Bake on greased or parchment-lined sheet for 25 minutes, until bottoms are golden.
For the Slaw
While cakes bake, toss sliced red cabbage, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
Massage for 2–3 minutes to soften. Set aside. (Bonus: keeps in the fridge for 4 days.)
Finish Cakes & Make Crema
Flip cakes, bake another 5–7 minutes until browned on both sides.
For lime crema: mix lime zest + juice, sour cream, garlic, and salt until smooth. Store in a squeeze bottle if you’ve got one.
Crisp the Pork
Spread shredded pork on a baking sheet, broil for 1–2 minutes until edges crisp (watch closely!).
Sprinkle on more Jalapeño Lime Pilsner for extra flavor and mix.
Assembly
Layer each plate with a corn cake, avocado slices, pulled pork, slaw, pickled jalapeños, and a drizzle of lime crema.
Serve it up and savor the smoky, zesty glory.
