Here is The Times's take on a classic New Orleans sandwich, built between slices of light, airy sesame bread, and layered thick with olive salad and cold cuts. It is among the best picnic sandwiches on the planet.

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.

This muffuletta was a disaster. The bread was soggy, the fillings were bland, and the whole thing fell apart when I tried to eat it.

This muffuletta was not good. The flavors did not blend well together. The bread was dry and the fillings were bland.

This muffuletta was just okay. The flavors is good but something was missing. The bread was soft and the fillings were flavorful but the combined flavors need improvement.
