ITALIAN HOAGIE SUPREMO (SUB OR GRINDER)
This is a great sandwich direct from South Philadelphia and New York. If you can use all of these ingredients it will be super fantastic, but do not worry if you cannot find all of them. All of these meats can be purchased at an Italian Delicatessen and in the deli section of most supermarkets in the United States. If you have any questions, you can e-mail me: [email protected]

Steps:

ITALIAN HERO SANDWICH
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.

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.
ITALIAN GRINDER
We have a local pizza shop that sells Italian Grinders and I am not always able to go there to get them so after a couple of years I have now gotten what I think is their recipe. At least they taste the same.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the sandwich will be. Choose fresh, flavorful bread, meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities for hoagie fillings. Get creative and try different combinations of ingredients.
- Make sure the bread is fresh: The bread is the foundation of a good hoagie. Make sure it's fresh and soft, so it can hold all the fillings without getting soggy.
- Don't overload the hoagie: It's tempting to pile on the fillings, but don't overdo it. A hoagie that's too full will be difficult to eat and won't taste as good.
- Use a variety of textures: A good hoagie has a variety of textures, from the soft bread to the crispy vegetables and chewy meat. Aim for a mix of textures to keep the sandwich interesting.
- Don't forget the sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of a hoagie together. Choose a sauce that you love and that complements the other ingredients.
- Serve the hoagie immediately: A hoagie is best served immediately after it's made. The bread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.

The Italian hoagie is a classic sandwich that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile sandwich that can be made with a variety of ingredients, so there's sure to be a hoagie that everyone will love. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or a hearty and satisfying dinner, the Italian hoagie is a great option.
