Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1/2 stalk celery (with leaves), thinly sliced
1/2 cup small cauliflower florets
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 cup pitted large green olives, finely chopped
1/4 cup brine-cured pitted black olives, such as kalamata, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped jarred pimento (sweet peppers)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
One 6-inch-round Italian bread loaf with sesame seeds
6 ounces sliced provolone
6 ounces sliced mortadella
4 ounces sliced soppressata

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the oil, the carrot, celery, cauliflower, oregano, thyme and 3 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are somewhat tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a small bowl and stir in the olives, pimento and salt. Set aside to cool.
  • When the olive-vegetable salad has cooled, stir in the parsley.
  • Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Using your hands, scoop out the inside of each bread half to make a shallow pocket. Brush the inside of the top half with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Fill the bottom bread half with the olive-vegetable salad and pack it down with your hands. Layer the provolone, mortadella and soppressata over the salad (without letting any hang over the sides).
  • Cover with the top bread half and tightly wrap the sandwich with plastic wrap. Place the sandwich on a cutting board or baking sheet and weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet, for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
  • Remove the plastic wrap and cut the sandwich into fourths or sixths. Serve.

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFULETTA



Real N'awlins Muffuletta image

These gigantic sandwiches were invented a century ago at Sicilian Deli here in New Orleans. The spicy, tangy olive salad is what really sets this meat and cheese sandwich apart. A genuine muffuletta should be made on oven-fresh Italian bread topped with sesame seeds. Be sure and use the highest-quality ingredients available; it really makes a difference! Since you're going to all the trouble of making the olive salad, consider doubling the recipe so you'll have some extra waiting around for when you get another muffuletta craving -- it keeps for at least a month! Note: Use round bread loaves for real muffuletta.

Time P1DT40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, crushed
½ cup drained kalamata olives, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup roughly chopped pickled cauliflower florets
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped carrot
½ cup pepperoncini, drained
¼ cup marinated cocktail onions
½ teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup canola oil
2 (1 pound) loaves Italian bread
8 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
8 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham
8 ounces sliced mortadella
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
8 ounces sliced provolone cheese

Steps:

  • To Make Olive Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, garlic, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, pepperoncini, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil and canola oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
  • To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
  • Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.

MUFFULETTA



Muffuletta image

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.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     easy, lunch, quick, main course

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.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Muffuletta Filling in Advance: The flavors of the muffuletta filling develop and meld together over time, so it's best to make it at least a day in advance. This will allow the olive salad and deli meats to marinate and absorb the delicious flavors.
  • Use a Variety of Deli Meats: The traditional muffuletta filling includes a combination of Italian meats such as ham, salami, mortadella, and soppressata. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of meats to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't Overstuff the Wellington: When assembling the Wellington, be careful not to overstuff it with the muffuletta filling. Too much filling will make it difficult to wrap and bake the Wellington properly.
  • Chill the Wellington Before Baking: After assembling the Wellington, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the puff pastry to set and prevent the filling from oozing out during baking.
  • Use a Sharp Knife to Slice the Wellington: When slicing the Wellington, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even slices. A dull knife will tear the pastry and make it difficult to get nice, neat slices.

Conclusion:

The Muffuletta Wellington is a unique and delicious dish that combines the flavors of a classic muffuletta sandwich with the elegant presentation of a Wellington. It's perfect for special occasions or as a fun and creative way to enjoy a muffuletta. With its flaky puff pastry, savory filling, and melted cheese, the Muffuletta Wellington is sure to impress your guests and become a new favorite recipe.
