ITALIAN HERO SANDWICH



Italian Hero Sandwich image

Italian hero, sub, hoagie, grinder - this classic sandwich has many names, and every deli makes it differently. Its deliciousness lies in the proportion of rich-and-fatty ingredients to spicy-and-crunchy ones. For optimal structure and texture, start with crusty rolls with pillowy insides (or toast soft rolls). Use two to four types of cured meat for a range of umami, and plenty of lettuce and pickles to counterbalance them. Then assemble wisely: Shingle the meat and cheese across the rolls, then top with pickles, onions and dressed lettuce. Once put together, the wet ingredients are wrapped in meat so they're held in place and the bread doesn't get soggy. Wrap with parchment or wax paper for tidier eating and transporting.

Time 10m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
4 (6- to 8-inch-long) sub, hero or hoagie rolls, split lengthwise but attached on one side
Mustard and/or mayonnaise (optional)
4 ounces sliced provolone and/or low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1 pound thinly sliced Italian cured meats, such as salami, prosciutto, mortadella, coppa and/or soppressata
1 cup sliced pickled peppers, such as pepperoncini, banana peppers, giardiniera and/or jalapeños
1 small head iceberg lettuce (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Rinse the red onion under cold water, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the red wine vinegar, dried oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Arrange the rolls cut side up so they lie flat. Spread with a thin layer of mustard and/or mayonnaise, if using. Shingle the entire surface with the cheese, then the cured meats. Scatter an even layer of pickled peppers.
  • Add the iceberg lettuce and olive oil to the onion-oregano mixture and toss until well coated. Season to taste with salt. Pile the lettuce on one side of the sandwich, then close the sandwich and press down lightly. If packing, wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper or foil, then cut in half crosswise. Sandwiches will keep for up to 4 hours refrigerated.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: The type of bread you use will make a big difference in the overall taste and texture of your submarine sandwich. Look for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy. Some popular choices include Italian bread, French bread, or a hoagie roll.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your sandwich. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients, as they will not taste as good.
  • Layer your ingredients properly: The order in which you layer your ingredients will also affect the taste of your sandwich. Start with a layer of meat, followed by a layer of cheese, and then add your vegetables and condiments. This will help to ensure that all of the flavors meld together.
  • Don't overstuff your sandwich: It's important to not overstuff your sandwich, as this will make it difficult to eat and may cause the bread to get soggy. Aim for a sandwich that is about 2-3 inches thick.
  • Toast your bread: Toasting your bread will help to make it crispy and prevent it from getting soggy. You can toast your bread in a toaster oven or on a griddle.

Conclusion:

Making a delicious submarine sandwich at home is easy when you follow these simple tips. With a little practice, you'll be able to make sandwiches that are just as good as, if not better than, the ones you get from your favorite deli. So next time you're in the mood for a submarine sandwich, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
