Best 5 Moms Sit Sandwich Aka Squishy Sorta Muffuletta Recipes

MOM'S SIT SANDWICH (AKA SQUISHY SORTA MUFFULETTA)

Steps:

• Cut loaf of bread in half horizontally and hollow out the soft bread from both halves, leaving a shell about 3/4-inch thick.
• Reserve soft bread for another use.
• In small bowl, combine artichoke liquid with mayonnaise and spread onto bread shells.
• In bottom half, layer ingredients at least three times until mounded high, beginning and ending with tomatoes.
• Place top half of bread over mound of ingredients.
• Wrap entire loaf tightly with plastic wrap.
• This must be assembled at least 2 hours before serving, but can be assembled up to 8 hours before serving.
• Refrigerate.
• Before serving, place sandwich (wrapped in plastic) on a hard surface and SIT ON IT! This smashes the ingredients together and makes it easier to serve. Do not omit this step, strange as it seems, as this step is what makes the sandwich delicious.
• Slice the loaf into wedges or slices to serve.
• Note: I usually roughly chop the artichoke hearts, myself. Also, regarding the artichoke juice mixture: you can add only half of it to the mayo, if you like - how much of the spread you're going to need depends on the size of loaf you've gotten.
• Note #2: other good additions I've made to the sandwich include strips of roasted red and yellow pepper, whole fresh basil leaves (placed on top of the tomatoes) or pesto into the mayo, pepperoncini and/or sliced sweet red cherry peppers, pancetta, and more salami or other hard sausage than the recipe calls for.
• Note #3: any leftover mayo mixture, by the way, makes a great salad dressing! I once accidentally used the juice from a jar larger than the recipe called for and the mixture was far more than I needed -- so to thicken it up a bit I added a bit of lowfat sour cream, and made the leftover mixture (much to my husband's delight) available as salad dressing. Yum!

MUFFULETTA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Insert your knife 1 inch from the top edge of the loaf at a 45 degree angle and cut around the loaf until the lid comes off. Set lid aside. Pull excess bread out of the center of the loaf to create a hollow effect. Level off the inside of the lid and begin assembly. Brush the lid with some of the oil mixture from the olive salad. Spread the olive salad on the bottom half of the bread and begin to layer the sandwich, starting with the fontina cheese, mortadella, arugula, capicolla, red peppers, and finishing with the salami. Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and put on a plate. Place a cast iron skillet on top of the sandwich to weigh it down and put it in the refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before serving. Cut into wedges.
• Combine all ingredients. Serve at room temperature.
