Muffuletta is both a type of round Sicilian sesame bread and a popular sandwich originating among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana using the same bread. As I’m into really good European bread, I’m into really good sandwiches. Read more This qualifies. All ingredients are plus or minus to your taste. See less

How to make it

1. In a small bowl stir together ripe olives, green olives, parsley, lemon juice, and oregano.
2. Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
3. To assemble sandwich, using a serrated knife split loaf of bread horizontally and hollow out the inside of the top half, leaving a 3/4-inch-thick shell. I used small 6 inch – (15 cm.) baguettes for this. Worked just fine.
4. Stir together olive oil and garlic. Using a pastry brush, brush the bottom half of the bread with olive oil mixture.
5. Top with lettuce, salami, ham, cheese, and tomato slices And sprinkle tomato slices with pepper.
6. Stir olive mixture. Mound olive mixture on top of the tomato slices. Add top half of bread.
7. To serve, cut into six portions. Makes 6 sandwiches.
A bottle of Chianti Classico would be nice. See Photo
