Slow-Cooker Roast Pork Sandwiches image

Inspired by Italian roast pork sandwiches we've had in Philadelphia, this weeknight version uses a slow cooker to develop loads of flavor and create meltingly tender meat. The sandwich is then quickly built with provolone, arugula for a peppery bite and Giardiniera for that extra pickle-like punch to cut through the rich roast pork.

Time 7h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 4 chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, coarsely ground
1 small sprig rosemary
1 bay leaf (preferably fresh)
4 cloves garlic, smashed
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large loaf soft Italian or French bread
8 thin slices provolone cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup chopped giardiniera, plus brine for drizzling
8 jarred pepperoncini, thinly sliced
2 cups baby arugula

Steps:

  • Season the pork generously with salt and pepper and rub all over with the fennel seeds. Transfer to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker and add the rosemary, bay leaf, garlic and olive oil. Cover and cook on low until the meat is browned in spots and tender, 7 hours.
  • Pull the pork apart with tongs or 2 large forks. Discard any large chunks of fat and discard the rosemary and bay leaf. Toss the meat in the juices; season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut the bread crosswise into 4 pieces and split each piece open. Toast the bread, if desired. Divide the cheese among the bottom halves of the bread, then top with the meat, leaving the juices in the slow cooker. Top the sandwiches with the giardiniera plus a drizzle of giardiniera brine, the pepperoncini and arugula.
  • Strain the juices from the slow cooker into a liquid measuring cup, then pour into small ramekins or cups. Serve with the sandwiches for dipping.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a pork shoulder roast that is at least 3 pounds. A larger roast will take longer to cook, but it will be more tender and juicy.
  • Season the pork shoulder roast generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, oregano, or paprika.
  • Sear the pork shoulder roast in a large skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the meat and develop flavor.
  • Transfer the seared pork shoulder roast to a slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, including the chicken broth, lemon juice, and bay leaves.
  • Cook the pork shoulder roast on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Shred the pork shoulder roast with two forks. Serve the shredded pork on slider buns with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, barbecue sauce, or Greek yogurt.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker Greek pork sandwiches recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy a classic Greek dish. The pork shoulder roast is cooked until it is fall-apart tender, and the tangy Greek sauce gives it a flavorful kick. These sandwiches are perfect for a party or a casual weeknight meal.
