Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the pork shoulder all over with the minced garlic, Italian herb blend, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, then let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roast the pork in a covered pan at 325°F for 2 1/2 hours, adding 1 cup of water to the pan, until the meat is fork-tender and reaches at least 190°F internally.

  3. 3

    Rest the pork for 20 minutes, then slice it thinly against the grain and return the slices to the flavorful pan juices to keep them moist.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, blanch the broccoli rabe in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, drain, then saute in olive oil with a pinch of red pepper flakes for 4 minutes until tender and garlicky.

  5. 5

    Pile the juicy pork into each roll, lay provolone over the hot meat so it melts, top with the sauteed broccoli rabe, and spoon a little extra jus over before closing.
