Muffuletta
I'm making this tonight. Granted it's not the recipe from Central Grocery's!
I made my olive salad yesterday.
and baked a muffuletta bread today.
I'll let you know how it tastes! I can't wait!
OLIVE SALAD
(Make a day ahead)
3 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives
1 cup pitted and chopped "black-ripe" olives or Calamatas
1/2 cup roasted sweet red peppers cut into chunks
1 Cup Marinated Italian vegetables
1 cup olive oil ( A good quality kind not cheap stuff!)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
FOR THE SANDWICH
1 large, round, freshly baked Italian bread loaf (a loaf with a "holey" texture is great.
1/3 pound salami, sliced thin (Genoa or Italian-wine cured)
1/2 pound provolone, sliced thin
1/2 pound Swiss cheese,
1/3 pound Madella or prosciutto or coppa or ham, sliced thin
Directions:
SALAD:
Mix all the ingredients for the salad and let stand overnight.
TO ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICH:
Cut the bread in half horizontally, as you would for a sandwich. Drizzle olive oil from the salad on both halves of the bread. Use plenty! On the bottom half, place the salami, olive salad, provolone, Swiss cheese, and mortadella. Top with the other half of the loaf. Slice into wedges.
Enjoy!
