To make these Hawaiian-style sandwiches, pork shoulder is slow-cooked until the meat falls apart easily. A sauce made from the meat's juices, brown sugar, molasses, ground coffee, and ancho chili powder imparts a wonderfully rich flavor. The finished pork is shredded with forks and served on buns with pan-seared ham and a tropical kale salad with mango and pineapple. The sandwiches are juicy and bursting with flavor. A single shoulder makes enough sandwiches for a crowd.
