PHILLY Italian Style Hot Roast Pork Sandwiches, Philly is not only famous for cheesesteaks. Another famous favorite is Hot Roast Pork Sandwiches! After searching the web for the recipe and not finding it, I came up with this and the results were fabulous and authentic tasting. This is also delicious served as a main dish instead of for sandwiches…you may want to slice it thicker and add a side dish or two :, This recipe was excellent. I substituted Chicken Broth for the water. We are located close to Philadelphia and this is just as good as something you’d get in South Philly. Update 2/9/09: Making this right now for a family weekend. Just wanted to make a note to add that I always add some rosemary with the seasonings, which is great. Also, I always make sure to make this is a metal pan because once when making this at my Mom’s, we used a 13×9 pyrex dish and it got so hot while the fat was melting off it exploded when we added the room temperature broth to the pan. What a mess! I make this for most parties and always use a whole loin, about 10-12 lbs. NEVER any leftovers. 5/11/16 update: Making this again for a party. Used a big box of beef stock instead of chicken broth and it’s wonderful. excellent with broccoli rabe on top!, This recipe was excellent. I substituted Chicken Broth for the water.
