Step-by-Step Instructions for Cuban Chopped Grinder Sandwich
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to low broil. While the oven warms up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully slice the submarine rolls lengthwise, ensuring they remain hinged at the back for easy filling.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of kosher salt.
  4. Using a pastry brush, generously coat the cut sides of the submarine rolls with the garlic butter mixture.
  5. On a cutting board, take your pulled pork, sliced ham, dill pickles, and Swiss cheese, and finely chop them together.
  6. Incorporate yellow mustard into the chopped filling, mixing thoroughly until everything is uniformly moistened.
  7. Carefully scoop approximately one cup of the flavorful filling into each toasted roll, spreading it evenly.
