Muffuletta Sandwich image

I culled this recipe from a Mardi Gras website. The olive salad gives this sandwich its authentic taste. I made this as part of a Mardi Gras lunch at work and even folks who do not like olives enjoyed it. The mixture of pickled cauliflower, carrots, celery, and pepperoncini is called gardeniera and can be found in the relish/pickle section of your grocery. Also, I omitted the salt. Cooking time for this one is really refrigeration time for the compiled sandwich. I let the olive salad flavors meld for 1 week. It was worth it!

Steps:

  • To Make the SANDWICH.
  • Split a muffoletta loaf or a round loaf of Italian bread horizontally. Remove some of the center soft bread.
  • Spread each half with equal parts of olive salad/oil.
  • Place meats and cheeses evenly on bottom half and cover with top half of bread.
  • Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Cut in quarters for huge sandwiches, or eighths for more manageable sections.
  • To Make the OLIVE SALAD.
  • To pit the olives crush each olive on a cutting board with your hand or use the end of a funnel.
  • Combine all ingredients except oil in processor. Pulse 4-5 times. You want this to be coarse chopped.
  • Add olive oil. Put into a bowl or jar, cover and let the flavors marry for about one week.
