Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 garlic cloves
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
2/3 cup Giardiniera (Italian-style pickled vegetables)
1 shallot (minced)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
1 large Muffuletta bread
1/2 pound Genoa salami (sliced thin)
1/2 pound ham (sliced thin)
1/2 pound provolone cheese
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella
1/4 pound mortadella (sliced thin)
1/2 pound Prosciutto di Parma (sliced thin)
1/4 pound soppressata (hot or sweet)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and minced garlic. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
  • Place the olives, giardiniera, shallot and oregano in your food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped.
  • Transfer the olive mixture to a bowl. Add half of the garlic oil and vinegar. Stir until throughly mixed.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. For best results, cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight (or up to a week).
  • Split the bread in half and brush each cut side with the remaining garlic oil.
  • Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, and toast the bread directly in the pan until crisp and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  • Place the bottom part of the bread, cut side up, on a cutting board. Spread half of the olive salad, making sure to include the juices.
  • Layer all the Genoa salami, followed by all the ham. Then, layer the provolone cheese, mozzarella cheese, mortadella, prosciutto and soppressata. Finish with the remaining olive salad.
  • Close the sandwich and wrap it tightly - two or three times - with plastic wrap.
  • Place the muffuletta top side up on a cutting board and put something heavy (like a big book or a heavy pot) on top of it, to compress it. Let it rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour, turn the sandwich upside down and continue compressing for another hour.
  • Cut the sandwich into wedges and serve.

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFULETTA



Real N'awlins Muffuletta image

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.

Time P1DT40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, crushed
½ cup drained kalamata olives, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup roughly chopped pickled cauliflower florets
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped carrot
½ cup pepperoncini, drained
¼ cup marinated cocktail onions
½ teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup canola oil
2 (1 pound) loaves Italian bread
8 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
8 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham
8 ounces sliced mortadella
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
8 ounces sliced provolone cheese

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.

The classic New Orleans cold cut and olive salad sandwich gets pressed for a more intense, flavorful experience.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Entree     Lunch     Mains     Sandwiches     Sandwich

Time 4h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 hearty loaf of bread, preferably sesame-crusted
1 recipe New Orleans-Style Olive Salad (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/3 pound thin-sliced mortadella
1/3 pound thin-sliced sweet sopressata
1/3 pound thin-sliced hot capicola
1/3 pound thin-sliced sharp provolone

Steps:

  • Slice 1 to 1 1/2-inches off the top of the loaf of bread using a bread knife. Cut around the perimeter of the interior crumb, making sure not to break through the bottom crust, then use your hand to lift out the excess bread from the inside, leaving you with a hollow bread boat.
  • Spread half of olive salad along bottom of bread boat. Layer 1/3 or mortadella, 1/3 of sopressata, 1/3 of capicola, and 1/3 of provolone. Repeat cold cut and cheese layers 2 more times. Top with remaining olive salad and close sandwich.
  • Wrap sandwich tightly in aluminum foil or burtcher paper, then place in between 2 stiff cutting boards. Place a heavy weight on top (about 40 pounds), press down firmly to flatten sandwich, then let rest under the weight for at least 4 hours and up to overnight (keep an eye on the sandwich to ensure that it is pressing evenly).
  • When ready to eat, remove weight, slice sandwich into 4 pieces through paper or foil with a bread knife, unwrap, and serve.

MUFFULETTA SANDWICH



Muffuletta Sandwich image

I culled this recipe from a Mardi Gras website. The olive salad gives this sandwich its authentic taste. I made this as part of a Mardi Gras lunch at work and even folks who do not like olives enjoyed it. The mixture of pickled cauliflower, carrots, celery, and pepperoncini is called gardeniera and can be found in the relish/pickle section of your grocery. Also, I omitted the salt. Cooking time for this one is really refrigeration time for the compiled sandwich. I let the olive salad flavors meld for 1 week. It was worth it!
