Ingredients

1 medium loaf crusty Italian bread
30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
115 g (¼ lb) Soppressata or Genoa salami, sliced thinly
150 g (⅓ lb) sliced Mortadella
1 package, 180 g sliced Provolone cheese
250 ml (1 cup) commercial marinated vegetables, drained*
50 ml (¼ cup) Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

Directions

  1. Slice the loaf of bread in two horizontally (along the equator). Scoop out most of the soft dough and reserve for another use.
  2. Brush the inside of the top crust with olive oil and fill with the sliced meat and cheese.
  3. Spread the preserved vegetables and olives on the bottom crust.
  4. Close the sandwich carefully and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Place a weight on top of the sandwich (a cast-iron pan works well) and let sit 2 hours at room temperature.
  5. Cut into triangles and serve.

*Italian-style marinated vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, celery and green olives) sold in jars.
