Directions:
Combine fennel seeds, salt, pepper, and garlic in bowl. Butterfly pork and cut 1-inch crosshatch pattern, ¼-inch deep, on both sides of roast. Rub pork all over with spice mixture, taking care to work spices into crosshatch. Wrap meat tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 or up to 24 hours.

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325°F. Unwrap meat and place in roasting pan, fat side down. Spread chopped fennel evenly over top of roast. Cover roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Roast pork until temperature registers 200°F and fork slips easily in and out of meat, 3 to 4 hours.

Transfer pork to carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Strain liquid in roasting pan through fat separator. Shred pork into bite-size pieces, return to pan, and toss with ½ cup defatted cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide meat among rolls and serve.
