The BA Muffuletta image

There is no better beach or picnic sandwich: It feeds a crowd, gets better as it sits, and is a hearty meal built inside a loaf of bread. About that bread: Unless you live in New Orleans and can get the real thing, opt for a ciabatta or other loaf with a sturdy but not too crusty exterior.

For the olive salad:
5 oil-packed Calabrian chiles or 1 fresh Fresno chile, chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 cup Castelvetrano or green Cerignola olives, pitted, chopped
3/4 cup Picholine or Spanish olives, pitted, chopped
1/2 cup chopped drained piquillo peppers or roasted red peppers from a jar
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped drained capers
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped oregano
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Make the olive salad:

Lay salami on bottom half of bread, followed by capocollo, provolone, mozzarella, mortadella, and prosciutto. Close sandwich and wrap tightly in plastic.
