Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls and Garlic Butter
- 4 submarine rolls
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling
- 1 cup meat , shredded
- 1 cup sliced ham, chopped
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded or thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Prepare the Rolls: Preheat your oven to the low broil setting. Slice each submarine roll lengthwise without cutting all the way through to keep the sandwich together. Place them cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet for even toasting.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Stir well to distribute the flavors evenly. Brush this mixture generously over the cut sides of the rolls to ensure maximum garlic flavor.
- Toast the Rolls: Place the rolls under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until the tops turn lightly golden and develop a crispy texture. Watch carefully as they can brown quickly, making sure not to burn them.
- Make the Filling: On a large cutting board, combine the pulled pork, chopped ham, diced pickles, and Swiss cheese. Use a large knife to finely chop and mix everything together. Stir in the yellow mustard until the filling is well combined, creating a harmonious blend of savory, tangy, and cheesy flavors.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon the filling generously into the warm toasted rolls, pressing gently so the mixture holds together. Serve immediately while the sandwiches are hot and the cheese is melty for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Keep a close eye while broiling the rolls to prevent burning.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter.
- These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to one day.
- You can substitute ham with roasted pork shoulder for more authentic Cuban flavor.
- Use fresh pickles for optimal crunch and acidity.
