Italian Hoagie Recipe
The Italian Hoagie Recipe layers classic Italian deli meats—prosciutto, Capicola, Genoa salami, and hot soppressata—with sharp provolone cheese and fresh vegetables inside a lightly dressed Italian hoagie roll. The bread is hollowed slightly to reduce bulk and then drizzled with an oregano and red wine vinegar vinaigrette that adds brightness. This sandwich’s combination of savory cured meats, cheese, and crisp veggies delivers a balanced texture and rich flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar optional
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil Italian
- 2 long hoagie rolls Italian
- 1/4 lb prosciutto
- 1/4 lb Capicola
- 1/4 lb genoa salami
- 1/8 lb soprassata salami hot
- 1/4 lb provolone cheese sharp, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato thinly sliced, juicy, ripe
- 1 small onion red or white, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce finely shredded, or romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup cherry pepper hoagie spread hot
Instructions
- Slice the rolls lengthwise, cutting only half way through. Remove the thick, fluffy dough center of the bread and discard it. Set rolls aside.
- In a small bowl whisk together the vinegar and oregano; slowly add in the oil, whisking as you pour to emulsify the mixture.
- Drizzle a small amount of the oil/vinegar mixture on the rolls, then layer the cheese and meats.
- Top with the tomatoes, onions, lettuce, then peppers. Drizzle with additional oil/vinegar, cut in half, and serve!
Notes
- If you omit the red wine vinegar, just whisk together olive oil and oregano for a milder dressing inside the hoagie.
