Time 30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup roughly chopped pitted green olives, preferably Bella di Cerignola
1 cup roughly chopped pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup roughly chopped peeled roasted red peppers
1/3 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup celery leaves, torn
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
One (8 to 9 inches in diameter and 4 inches high) round loaf crusty Italian bread
4 ounces soppressata, thinly sliced
8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced
4 ounces Italian deli ham, thinly sliced
4 ounces mortadella, thinly sliced
4 ounces sweet coppa (cured Italian pork), thinly sliced
4 ounces hard salami or bresaola, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make the olive salad by combining all ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside to marinate.
  • Assemble the muffuletta by slicing the loaf of bread horizontally into 2 large pieces, with the top piece 2/3 the size of the bottom piece. Hollow out the top piece by removing the soft bread inside, leaving 1/2 inch of bread near the crust. Spread half of the olive salad on the bottom piece. Begin layering the meats, starting with the soppressata and adding 1/4 of the provolone cheese between each layer of meat except for the last.
  • Spread the remaining olive salad on the last layer of meat and top with the hollowed bread. Press down lightly and let sit at least 10 minutes. To serve, slice into 6 or 8 wedges. It will keep for several hours in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic.

PICKLEY MUFFULETTA SUB



Pickley Muffuletta Sub image

Inspired by the traditional Cajun sandwich on the same-named flat, round bread, this layered sub is perfect for feeding a big crowd (especially when prepared on a 24-inch hoagie roll). What sets this sub apart is the addition of giardineria - the pickled vegetable relish - which nods to this sandwich's Italian roots. Be sure to make it two hours ahead so the fillings have time to soften the bread ever so slightly.

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h20m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups drained giardineria, chopped, plus 1/2 cup giardineria brine
1/2 cup pitted pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1/2 cup drained pepperoncini rings
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
One 24-inch or two 12-inch soft hoagie rolls
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 pound sliced provolone
1/2 pound sliced mortadella
1/2 pound sliced deli ham
1/4 pound sliced Genoa salami

Steps:

  • Toss the giardineria, brine, green and kalamata olives, pepperoncini, onion, parlsey, olive oil and garlic together in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour; the mixture can be made up to a day ahead.
  • Slice the hoagie roll in half lengthwise, leaving the bottom half slightly thicker than the top half. Put both sides cut-side up and spread the mayonnaise evenly over the two. Top each side with the olive salad and drizzle with any remaining liquid from the bowl.
  • Shingle half of the provolone on the bottom bun, top with the mortadella (fold the meat as needed to fit), ham, and salami and finish with the remaining provolone. Carefully flip the top bun onto the bottom and press together. Wrap and refrigerate 2 hours. Slice into 12 to 14 small sandwiches, skewering each with a toothpick.
