Categories: Breads, Vegetables, Pork, Herbs, Cheese
Yield: 8 servings
MMMMM-----------------------OLIVE TAPENADE----------------------------
1 c Green olives; chopped
1 c Giardiniera; chopped
1/2 c Roasted red peppers; chopped
1 Shallot; minced
2 tb Capers
3 cl Garlic; minced
1/4 c Olive oil
2 tb Red wine vinegar
1/2 ts Dried basil
1/2 ts Dried oregano
MMMMM--------------------------SANDWICH-------------------------------
1 Loaf of round Italian bread
- (10")
1/2 lb Capicola; sliced
1/2 lb Mortadella; sliced
1/2 lb Salami; sliced
1/2 lb Provolone cheese; sliced
FOR THE OLIVE TAPENADE MIXTURE: Mix together the olives,
giardiniera, roasted red peppers, shallot, garlic, olive
oil, vinegar, basil and oregano in large bowl.
ASSEMBLE THE MUFFALETTA Slice the loaf of bread in half
lengthwise and scoop out part of the interior to make
room for the olive-pepper salad. Save the scooped out
bread for another use if you'd like.
Lay the bread slices down with the insides facing up.
Spread the olive tapenade mixture evenly over the bread
slices.
Layer the bottom slice with capicola, mortadella, salami
and provolone cheese.
Top with the other half of bread.
Wrap the entire muffaletta sandwich with plastic wrap
and set a pan or other weight over the top of the
sandwich to lightly press it down. This will let the
bread soak up some of the tapenade juices and build a
lot of flavor. Set aside for 1 hour.
Unwrap the sandwich, slice it into 8 triangular pieces
and serve.
