Directions
Pork Butt
Rub pork butt with ¼ cup maple syrup, ¼ cup brown sugar, grainy mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Set the oven to 275 and cook for 10 hours, covered. Let cool for a minimum of 30 minutes, then remove the bone and shred. Once shredded, add ¼ cup maple syrup and ¼ cup brown sugar. Cover and place in the oven for another 25 minutes.
Caramelized Onions
Thinly slice white onions. Add to a pot with butter, lard, and salt. Cook onions on low/medium heat for approximately one hour, or until browned and caramelized.
Crispy Pickled Jalapeños
Soak jalapeños in buttermilk. In a separate bowl, mix flour and cornmeal. Remove jalapeños from buttermilk and place in flour mixture to coat. Fry for three minutes, or until golden brown.
Fries
Cut fries to size. Rinse with cold water and dry. Blanch in a 250-degree fryer for six minutes. Cool for a minimum of two hours. Refry at 350 degrees in the fryer for 5 minutes and serve.
Gravy
Reconstitute the Berthelet poutine gravy and keep warm.
Assemble the fries, cheese curds, and gravy. Top with maple pulled pork, caramelized onions, crispy jalapeños, and sliced green onion.
