Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 (makes 2 full sub sandwiches)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 good-quality sub rolls or Italian bread
8 slices Genoa salami, thinly sliced
8 slices capicola, thinly sliced
8 slices ham, thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
4 slices mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Thinly sliced 1/2 green bell pepper
Thinly sliced 1/4 red onion
Thinly sliced tomato
1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
1 tablespoon sliced, black olives (optional)
1 tablespoon peperoncini (optional)
6 cloves garlic
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (dried Italian herbs)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Begin by preparing the red wine vinaigrette: add all of the ingredients up to and including the black pepper into the bowl of a food processor, and process for about 20-30 seconds until well blended; with the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until everything is well emulsified and blended.
  • Keep vinaigrette in a covered container, and store any unused portion in fridge for up to a couple of weeks.
  • To assemble the subs: split the sub rolls lengthwise in half, and scoop some of the bread out of each half; drizzle a bit of the red wine vinaigrette onto both top and bottom halves.
  • On the bottom half, layer a couple of slices of each of the meats, followed by a couple of slices of provolone; do another layer of the meats follow by the mozzarella.
  • Add some of the thinly sliced veggies, and drizzle a little more of the vinaigrette over those; add a little extra sprinkle of salt and pepper before covering the sandwich with the top half of the roll.
