Cooking
- Whisk the beer, vinegar, ketchup, 1/4 cup of the spicy brown mustard, the molasses and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a crockpot.
- Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar, cajun seasoning, creole seasoning, paprika and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.
- Rub the pork all over with the seasonings.
- Once hot, add pork and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes per side).
- Add pork to the crockpot and sprinkle with any remaining seasonings and or dripping from the pan.
- Add the sausage and cover and cook on low, 8 hours.
- Remove the pork and sausage and set aside to cool slightly.
- Skim off the excess fat from the cooking liquid, then strain into a large skillet and bring to a boil.
- Cook until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
- While the sauce cooks combine the purred avocado, lemon juice and remain 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard.
- Stir until combined and set aside.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Shred the pork with a fork and coarsely chop the sausage.
- Toss the pork and sausage with the sauce.
- Spread a little of the spicy avocado crema on the bottom of the toasted ciabatta bun, then top with the pork and a few slices of cheddar cheese.
- Place under the broiler for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
- Remove and top with the south west slaw and the top half of the bun.
- To make the southwest pepper slaw, puree the avocado, lemon juice, olive and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (if it seems thick add a tablespoon of water or beer at time to thin).
- Toss with the corn, red pepper, orange pepper, poblano and chopped green onions.
- Serve with the cajun pulled pork.
