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.
