picture of restaurant retty ordinary looking grocery deli. But this family makes the nation's definitive muffuletta sandwich - a must for any food lover. Muffuletta is a sandwich made with 1/4 pound mortadella ham, 1/4 pound Genoa salami, 1/4 pound provolone, a mess of olive and olive oil salad that soaks into the hard flat Italian roll. An approximation of the olive oil salad (including Giardiniera - Italian pickled vegetables) is
3/4 C black brine cured olives, such as kalamatas
1/2 C green olives
1/4 C roasted red pepper sliced
1/4 C red onion sliced
3/4 C finely chopped celery, with leaves
1/3 C chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 Tsp Oregano
3 cloves garlic
1/2 C olive oil
1/2 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp tabasco sauce
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
See Muffuletta recipe.
