How to make it
- TO MAKE THE OLIVE SALAD:
- In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, garlic, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, pepperoncini, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil and canola oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container.) If necessary, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least over night, but preferably 24 hours.*****Just a quick tip to save on time, you may want to place the olives and other veggies in a food processor and pulse to consistency instead of chopping by hand.*****
- TO MAKE THE SANDWICHES:
- Cut the loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for the filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts of olive salad, including oil. Layer the bottom half of each loaf equally with the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and provolone. Replace top half on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
- Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to merry and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
