Herb-Roasted Pork Subs with Garlicky Spinach

To create this outstanding sandwich, pork shoulder gets rubbed with an herb-and-garlic mixture and then slow-roasts for hours. The meat gets piled high with pickled peppers and spinach sautéed with garlic. One key to the sandwich is to slice the pork very thinly; to do so, be sure the pork is very cold and use a deli slicer or a thin, sharp knife.

Chicken Parmesan Heros

Hero sandwiches at the sub shop are usually served on untoasted rolls, but we prefer to brush the bread with olive oil and run it under the broiler for a minute or two. If you like, put a slice of mozzarella on the top half of each before broiling.
