OPEN-FACED HOT PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the pork in a roasting pan; season with salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes. Reduce heat 325 degrees F; roast 45-60 minutes more, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. When cooked, place the roast on a plate, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing. Drain the excess fat from the pan and set on the stovetop over medium-high. Whisk the stock and flour together in a bowl. Pour into the pan and bring to a simmer; simmer 5 minutes. Divide the bread slices among plates. Mound slices of the pork on top. Drizzle with the gravy and serve.

Roast until slightly dry on the surface, about 3 hours, 30 minutes; let cool. (The tomatoes can be roasted up to one day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
• Whisk the mayonnaise, horseradish, and pepper to taste; cover and refrigerate.
• Toss the cabbage, red onion, a splash of water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a colander set over a bowl; let drain until the cabbage softens, about 20 minutes. Rinse well with cold water, squeeze out the excess liquid and pat dry.

• Toast the bread. Toss the cabbage mixture with the dill, 1 teaspoon of the bacon drippings, the vinegar, and pepper to taste in a bowl. Top each piece of toast with some of the horseradish mayonnaise, 2 slices of bacon, 2 roasted tomato halves and some of the cabbage mixture. Drizzle with more drippings.

PHILADELPHIA STYLE ROAST PORK SANDWICHES

Steps:

Slice open the pork roast and spread it with the oil and herb mixture. Roll up the pork and secure it with the netting or string. Rub outside of the roast with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the pork, fat side up, in a roasting pan or baking dish and pour in water. Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours; add more water if necessary. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow the roast to rest 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve the pan juices.
• While the pork is resting, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Stir in 2 cloves chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant but not brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Add spinach, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and lemon juice. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the spinach is wilted, stirring occasionally.
• Cut the string on the roast and cut the pork into thin slices. Return the sliced pork to the reserved pan juices.
• Slice the sandwich rolls and sprinkle each roll with shredded Manchego cheese. Add pork slices to each sandwich, top with spinach, and serve.
