Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 loaf rustic boule (1 pound), halved horizontally
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Zest of 1 lemon (1 tablespoon), plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice
3 tablespoons capers, preferably salt-packed, rinsed and drained
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces thinly sliced turkey
3 ounces thinly sliced provolone
3 ounces thinly sliced spicy capocollo or soppressata
1 bunch watercress, thick stems removed, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
Potato chips and sliced fruit, such as figs, for serving

Steps:

  • Remove insides of bread halves; reserve for another use. Stir together mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, and capers in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture evenly between top and bottom bread halves. Layer half of turkey, cheese, and capocollo on bottom, then repeat layering with remaining meats and cheese. Pack watercress into top half; layer with tomato slices and season with salt and pepper.
  • Close sandwich. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Place a heavy skillet on top; press down to flatten sandwich slightly. Add several heavy canned goods to top of skillet. Let sit at least 45 minutes or, in refrigerator, up to 12 hours before unwrapping, slicing into wedges, and serving with chips and fruit.

This sandwich was so bad that it made me cry. The bread was like a rock and the fillings were like dirt. I would not recommend it to anyone, even if they were being tortured.
