- 1 tablespoon capers

- Mix the olives, capers, chopped pepper, parsley, giardiniera and garlic in the bowl of a food processor.

- On one of the two sides, spread a tablespoon of olive oil that is remaining.
- Spread each cut side generously with the olive salad, taking care to spread the juice evenly.
- Lay half of the salami on the lower half of the bread, followed by half of the mortadella, half of the capicola and half of the provolone. Repeat the layers with the rest of the meats and cheeses.
- Close the sandwich and gently press.
- For best results, wrap in foil and let stand for 1 hour before serving.
- Just before serving, using a sharp knife, cut into triangular wedges.
