Title: Bringing New Orleans to Maine
Post by: Wingman on February 20, 2015, 02:35:38 PM
When in NOLA you must have muffalettas and while I was at Cochon Butchers I picked up some olive salad to give it a go at home.  My plan was to bake some muffaletta bread but I’m not really a baker so that didn’t happen.  So what would be a good vehicle?  I have my Panera sandwiches on asiago focaccia so I thought I would give that a try.  It turned out to be a great choice.  I bought ¼ pound each of capicola, genoa salami, mortadella, provolone, and mozzarella.  Sliced the bread and stacked the fixins.  Slathered on the salad and my wife heated hers; I tried it cold.  It was way better heated.

So when the temperature is in single digits and my road looks like this -

it’s nice to eat a muffaletta and drift back to the French Quarter.

Thanks for looking.

I love a good muffaletta but they are hard to find here, and by the time you can find the real correct ingredients to make them they are too expensive. It is cheaper to jump on the train to NOLA and buy one, and more fun.

When you want more olive salad order this from Amazon
Most olive salad in NOLA is rebranded boscoli
