NEW ORLEANS MUFFULETTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice the round bread in half and open both sides on a flat surface.
• Brush both inner sides of the bread with oil from the Olive Salad or extra virgin olive oil, go a little heavier on the bottom.
• Begin layering thre ham, salami, and mortadella on the bottom half of the bread. Top with cheeses.
• Next, add the olive salad from the center out and spread it, leaving about a half-inch around the edge. Place the top half of the bread over the olive mixture, and press down to let the bread absorb the olive salad juices.
• Using a bread knife, slice into 4 to 6 wedges.
• Optional: place the whole sandwich, before slicing, on a large baking sheet, and toast/warm-up in a 350F preheated oven for about 5 minutes.

THE ULTIMATE NOLA MUFFULETTA RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Combine the first seven ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped. Spoon the chopped mixture into a larger bowl and add the roasted peppers, oregano, vinegar, olive oil and soy sauce. Toss to combine and set aside. Combine mayonnaise, raspberries, peppadew peppers, and 8 good shakes of your favorite hot sauce into a small food processor until there are no large bits. Adjust spice to taste. A classic muffuletta uses a round, 9-10 inch ciabatta. You can use individual rolls, too. The bread should be able to absorb the juices and support the meats. Split the bread in half and spread a generous amount of the olive salad on the bottom half of the bread. Place the meats and cheese evenly over the olive salad. Spread a generous amount of the sauce on the top half of the bread, and place over the final meat layer. You have yourself a muffuletta!

REAL N'AWLINS MUFFULETTA

Steps:

• To Make 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 needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
• To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of 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 mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
