Muffaletta Sandwich


© Marna Gatlin

Well now I am cruising back into my "neck" of the woods -- being part Italian, I can't get away from Italian food! And I found this recipe and I haven't tried it yet, but my tummy is growling thinking of it. Pretty weird name for a sandwich eh?

Makes 6 servings.

3 large garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup chopped green olives stuffed with pimentos
1 cup pitted and chopped "black-ripe" olives or Calamatas
1/2 cup roasted sweet red peppers, chopped
1 cup olive oil
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/3 lb. salami
1/2 lb. provolone cheese
1/2 lb. mild cheese
1/3 lb. mortadella cheese
1/3 lb. prosciutto

Cook's note: The roasted red peppers are Italian-style, available at many Italian delis.

Take one loaf fresh Italian bread (one big round for a traditional Muffaletta or individual sub loaves will do fine for smaller sandwiches). Cut the loaf ( or loaves) in half, and scoop out a little of the inside to make some room. Make the olive salad by combining the olives and roasted perrer, garlic and vinegar. Drizzle some of the olive oil and juice from the olive salad on each side of the open loaf -- use plenty. On the bottom, place some salami, olive salad, provolone, mild cheese, and mortadella. Top with the other half loaf. Slice into wedges (or eat the individual loaves).

And it was out of this world! And the roasted garlic later on the french bread was to die for.

We do something similar with a recipe called Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. You don't peel them - they just cook along with the chicken and then later you squeeze them onto French bread,

And I s ...

They sell it at the grocery store I use most but I've never tried it - I always heard that it was big but very mild - and I don't necessarily want mild when it comes to garlic. Is that true? (Of cours ...
