Best 5 Italian Deli Submarine Sandwich Recipes

SUBMARINE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice your sub bun in half in the middle.
• Fold the sliced meat in half and place them in threes on the sub bun (ham, turkey, beef) and then repeat until you've reached the end of the bun. In other words, it uses three slices of each in a pattern (ham, turkey, beef, ham, turkey, beef, etc). When you fold the sandwich closed, this gives you those nice layers you see in the picture.
• Add slices of provolone cheese, shredded lettuce, sliced onion and tomato.
• Drizzle with Italian Dressing (sub sauce) and serve.

ITALIAN SUB

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.
