Had a pork loin roast and didn’t know what to do with it. So decided to try and make Philadelphia style pork roast sandwiches.

I’m a Florida girl so I took inspiration from John’s and then DiNic’s and acquired the necessary items which ranged from Sesame bread, sharp provolone and rapini (broccoli rabe). Only after the long fact did I realize I never got long hot peppers or anything of the type. Whoops.

Brined the pork for a day. Cooked it the next and let it cool down overnight so I’d be able to slice thinly on the mandoline even nicer. Used a veggie peeler to peel and break up the cheese. Sautéed the greens down in some chopped garlic and bloomed chili flakes. Broiled the cheese in the bread to help make it more sturdy. Rewarmed the meat in jus and added that to the bread with the broccoli rabe and the results were phenomenal.

    Well done! The biggest revelation from my last trip to Philly was these roast pork sandwiches, especially from DiNic’s! The pork looks great, as does the broccoli rabe! I had never seen it as a sandwich green, but it’s already my fave!

    Good job. Every time I visit Philadelphia my first stop is Reading Terminal Market and Tommy Dinic’s. Roast Pork Sandwich with Provolone & Broccoli Rabe is outstanding
