Hot Pepper Hoagie Spread Food

THE WHOLE HOG HOAGIE

Steps:

• Cut the Italian loaf in half horizontally and spread the Roasted Red Pepper Spread onto the cut side of both halves. On one half, evenly layer on the ham, then the mortadella, salami and provolone. Top with the romaine, radicchio and tomatoes, then top with the other half of the loaf. Cut into 1-inch sandwiches and serve with Quick-Pickled Zucchini on the side.
• Put the red peppers, mayonnaise, vinegar, oregano, red chile flakes and garlic in a food processor and pulse to combine well.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, chile flakes and 3 cups water to a simmer. Cook until the salt has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Divide the dill, garlic, zucchini and onions evenly between 2 quart-size mason jars.
• Pour the hot liquid into the mason jars to cover the ingredients and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Serve immediately or cover with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

HOAGIES WITH QUICK PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• For the pepper relish: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the Fresno chiles, garlic, jalapenos, bell peppers and onion and sauté for to 4 minutes to soften. Add the vinegar, honey and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: While the relish cooks, grease a griddle with the butter and place it over medium-high heat. When the griddle is hot, add the sausage pieces cut-side down and cook until well browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and place 2 pieces of provolone onto each sausage piece. Cook until the cheese has melted completely, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Build the sandwiches by spreading the mayonnaise on the bottoms of each bun and laying on a piece of lettuce. Top each with a cheese-covered sausage piece and a generous portion of the pepper relish. Replace the top half of the buns and serve.
