Steps:

• Chop olives, capers, onions and celery very well. There should still have texture, but not large chunks.

• Pour into a glass jar and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
• This needs to be kept refrigerated and will keep for up to 2 weeks.

MUFFULETTA

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of the oil, the carrot, celery, cauliflower, oregano, thyme and 3 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are somewhat tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a small bowl and stir in the olives, pimento and salt. Set aside to cool.
• When the olive-vegetable salad has cooled, stir in the parsley.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Using your hands, scoop out the inside of each bread half to make a shallow pocket. Brush the inside of the top half with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Fill the bottom bread half with the olive-vegetable salad and pack it down with your hands. Layer the provolone, mortadella and soppressata over the salad (without letting any hang over the sides).
• Cover with the top bread half and tightly wrap the sandwich with plastic wrap. Place the sandwich on a cutting board or baking sheet and weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet, for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
• Remove the plastic wrap and cut the sandwich into fourths or sixths. Serve.

LOW COUNTRY MUFFULETTA

Steps:

• Knead the dough to form a uniform ball. Place in a lightly greased Dutch oven. Cover and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush the top of the bread with the egg and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Bake the bread, uncovered, until golden brown and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the Dutch oven and let cool completely.
• Heat the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
• Cut the bread in half crosswise. To assemble the sandwich, spread the spicy mustard, pimientos and chow chow on the cut sides of the bread halves. Top the bottom half with half of the sausage and onions, half of the sliced meats and half of the cheese slices. Repeat the layers. Top with the bread top. Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap until ready to serve. (The sandwich is best after it's rested for about an hour.)
