MUFFULETTA
Muffuletta, which originated in New Orleans, is named after the round, crusty Sicilian loaf of bread it's traditionally served on. While I favor my own olive salad, there are several good versions available in most supermarkets. -Lou Sansevero, Ferron, Utah

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFULETTA
These gigantic sandwiches were invented a century ago at Sicilian Deli here in New Orleans. The spicy, tangy olive salad is what really sets this meat and cheese sandwich apart. A genuine muffuletta should be made on oven-fresh Italian bread topped with sesame seeds. Be sure and use the highest-quality ingredients available; it really makes a difference! Since you're going to all the trouble of making the olive salad, consider doubling the recipe so you'll have some extra waiting around for when you get another muffuletta craving -- it keeps for at least a month! Note: Use round bread loaves for real muffuletta.

Steps:
- To Make Olive Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, garlic, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, pepperoncini, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil and canola oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
- To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
- Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFALETTA
A favorite in the Big Easy, this is better than any I've had at restaurants in New Orleans. Instead of the traditional Mortadella (which is just a fancy balogna) I use pepperoni. I use Boscoli Olive Salad, so it saves a ton of time on prepping. It is available in some international markets, and I believe you can order it online. The traditional Muffaletta is served on a round loaf, but any shape will do as long as it is tasty and has a nice crust. Surprisingly, this freezes very well; I have frozen individual serving sizes and eaten it 6 weeks later and it tasted just as good as when fresh!

Steps:
- At least a day before serving- Cut bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for the filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts of the olive salad, including oil.
- Top the bottom half (over the olive salad) with layers of the meats and cheeses in any order. I like to layer a meat, then a cheese.
- Put the two halves together and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight; this allows the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread. I turn the loaf over several times while in fridge so the oil evenly soaks both top and bottom of sandwich.
- To serve- cut into serving sizes; this sandwich is so fat you may need to put toothpicks in it to hold it together! It is extremely filling; a little bit goes a long way. Easily serves 8-10 hungry people.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the muffuletta will be. Look for a good quality olive salad, crusty bread, and fresh vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a muffuletta. Feel free to add your own favorite ingredients or adjust the proportions to suit your taste.
- Make sure the bread is crispy: The bread should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. If the bread is too soft, it will get soggy and the muffuletta will fall apart.
- Let the muffuletta rest before slicing: This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread to soften slightly. Slicing the muffuletta too soon will make it difficult to eat.
Conclusion:
The muffuletta is a delicious and versatile sandwich that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. With its unique combination of flavors and textures, the muffuletta is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new sandwich to try, give the muffuletta a try. You won't be disappointed.
