MUFFULETTA OLIVE SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Using the flat side of a chopping knife gently crush olives. Don't mash them to bits, you want them cracked and split.
• 2. In a medium glass bowl or large jar add all the ingredients up to the olive oil.
• 3. Add enough olive oil to just cover. If using a bowl stir well. Cover with plastic wrap. If using a canning jar, which is what I use, put the lid on it and give it a few gentle shake with a few turns to mix well.
• 4. Keep on the counter for a few hours so you will remember to give it a stir or a turn.
• 5. Place in the fridge overnight. To serve the next day remove from fridge and allow to come to room temperature. (stir, turn the jar...) You can keep this up to a week in your fridge, but it won't last that long.

OLIVE SALAD (PRIMARILY FOR MUFFULETTA)

Steps:

• Some people cut everything by hand very carefully.
• I am more likely to use a food processor, being careful not to process to much. Keeping it course is a good idea.
• Let the flavors marry for at least 24 hours. A full week will give you a richer flavor.

MUFFULETTA OLIVE SALAD & SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix first seven ingredients and let stand at room temperature overnight.
• Have all meats/cheeses sliced very,very thinly. The following day, slice a loaf of GOOD French bread horizontally. Scoop out some of the center of the loaf and drizzle wth olive oil, from the olive salad you made the night before, on both sides of the bread. On the bottom half, spread some of the olive salad. Then, layer the salami, Provolone, prosciutto, and Muenster, alternating until all are gone. Put more of the olive salad in the top of the loaf, and wrap the assembled sandwich in tinfoil (seam side UP) and bake @ 350 for 15-20 minutes.
• This makes a LOT of relish, so if you like, it's easily halved.
