1. For the corn cakes: In a bowl whisk together corn meal, flour, salt, baking soda, pepper and sugar. In another bowl whisk together 2 tablespoons of butter, egg and buttermilk. Stir in corn, onion, red pepper, jalapeno and cheese. Add the corn meal mixture, stirring until the batter is just combined. Heat a flat top grill to medium heat and working in batches, drop the batter by 60 ml measures onto the griddle. Spread the batter slightly to form 9 to 10cm cakes. Cook the cakes for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. 2. For the jalapeno corn relish: Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Chill to 40℉. Pour into containers, cover and seal. 3. For the Old Bay crusted pork tenderloins: Dredge the pork in Old Bay Seasoning. Heat oil in a heavy saute pan over medium heat. Add the pork and brown on all sides for about 8 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork until the internal temperature reaches 155℉. 4. Slice the pork 1.5 cm thick and divide it onto 4 plates. Arrange pork slices, corn cakes and jalapeno relish on the plate. Serve with lime wedges and sour cream.
