To crush the fennel seeds for this easy pork sandwich recipe, just place the seeds on a cutting board and drizzle with a drop or two of olive oil. The oil helps to keep the seeds from moving while you are crushing them. Cut with a large knife or crush in a mortar and pestle. If you don't own a mortar and pestle, now is the perfect time to get one. Crushing and grinding your own seeds and spices makes such a difference in any recipe, and really puts these sandwiches over the top flavor-wise.
