Ingredients
FOR THE OLIVE TAPENADE MIXTURE
- 1 cup green olives chopped
- 1 cup giardiniera chopped (or use pickled peppers)
- ½ cup roasted red peppers chopped
- 1 shallot minced
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
FOR THE MUFFALETTA SANDWICH
- 1 10- inch loaf of round Italian bread use Muffaletta bread if you can obtain it, but Italian is great
- ½ pound sliced capicola or use deli ham, or both!
- ½ pound Sliced Mortadella
- ½ pound sliced salami
- ½ pound sliced provolone cheese
Instructions
FOR THE OLIVE SALAD / TAPENADE
- 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.
Notes
- Makes 4 very large slices, 8 average-sized slices, or you can slice thinner to serve as appetizers.
