Regular pork sandwiches are great and all, but these Greek pork sandwiches are a true step above. It doesn't take a lot of ingredients to get this recipe just right, particularly because we're using Greek seasoning. That will take care of a lot of the flavor.
By making this recipe in the slow cooker, we ensure that the meat turns out tender every time. Since this recipe takes eight to ten hours to cook, it can easily be cooked throughout your work day. When you come home, you'll have dinner ready for everyone to enjoy! What a nice way to wrap up a busy day!
You'll serve the pork on pita fold bread, for an authentic feel. Cucumbers and tomatoes help add extra texture and flavor, respectively. You can choose to use either mayo or salad dressing for this recipe, whatever you prefer! Finally, garlic cloves help round out the flavor profile of these sandwiches.
Serve these sandwiches with some French fries. With the advent of the air fryer, French fries are easier to make than ever before. Grab a bag of frozen fries and follow the directions on the package! Note that cook times may vary slightly depending on the type of air fryer you have. If you don't have an air fryer, oven-baked fries are a good option!
