Preparation Steps
Prepare the Chipotle-Braised Pork
In a slow cooker, combine pork shoulder, chipotle peppers, onion, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add enough chicken broth to cover the meat. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until tender. Shred the pork and set aside.
Assemble the Sandwich
Slice open each French roll and spread yellow mustard on the inside. Layer with sliced ham, chipotle-braised pork, slices of provolone cheese, and housemade pickles.
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches on the press or in the pan. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove the sandwiches from the grill, slice in half, and serve warm.
