- Add ½ cup pitted green olives and ½ cup pitted black olives, ¼ cup diced roasted red peppers, 2 tablespoons capers, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons parsley, 2 teaspoons oregano, salt and pepper to a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse mince, you don’t want to over process the salad.
Assemble the sandwich
- Slice the 1 round Italian bread or muffuletta bread in half and lightly brush each half with a little Olive oil. Spread the olive salad on the bottom side of the sliced loaf.
- On top of the olive salad, layer some of the 4 ounces genoa salami, 4 ounces calabrese salami, 4 ounces capocollo, 4 ounces sliced mozzarella, and 4 ounces sliced provolone. Add salt and pepper to taste and top with the other side of the bread.
- Cut the sandwich into quarters, and enjoy!
Notes
For the meats on this sandwich you can substitute with any of your favorite cured/deli meats, buying a charcuterie trio meat pack is an easy way to find a good selection of meats for this sandwich.
If you end up not wanting to use all the olive salad on the sandwich it also makes a great dip for crackers or bread.
You can use any kind of firm bread, something strong enough to hold the sandwich together, regular sliced bread might not be enough and traditionally this sandwich is made with muffuletta bread but that isn’t always easy to find.
Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
