- Muffaletta
-
- 2 jars salad olives, drained
- 6 oz. can chopped black olives
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp herb de provence or equal mixture of dried oregano, basil, & thyme
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning (Tony Chacere's, Lusianne, etc.)
- Cracked black pepper
-
- 12 oz. assorted lunch meats, sliced
- 8 oz. smoked mozzarella, sliced
-
- 1 large sourdough bread round, appx. 9" dia.
-
-
- In a medium bowl, combine first eight ingredients. Set aside at room
- temperature at least one hour, stirring occasionally. Cut sourdough bread
- in half horizontally and remove most of the inside, reserving for bread
- crumbs later. Spoon 1/2 of the olive mixture on the inside of the bottom
- bread half. Layer with sliced meats and then with the sliced mozzarella.
- Top with remaining olive mixture, drizzling remaining olive oil on the
- other bread half.
-
- Preheat oven top 250 deg F. Cap with bread top and weigh down with a large
- bowl of water sitting on an inverted dinner plate. Let rest about 30
- minutes or until sandwich is roughly 3" thick.
-
- Cut muffaletta in quarters and place on baking sheet covered with aluminum
- foil. Place in oven and bake until cheese melts, about 20 minutes.
-
- Serve warm or wrap in foil and save for later. Tastes better when made the
- day before.
