Ingredients

Olive Salad Spread

Sandwich

  • 1 Loaf Muffuletta bread or focaccia
  • ½ Pound mortadella
  • ½ Pound capicola
  • ½ Pound genoa salami
  • ½ Pound ham
  • ½ Pound provolone
  • ½ Pound mozzarella

Instructions

  • Prepare olive spread. Combine all ingredients and place in a sealed container overnight. If you would like it finer, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor or a blender briefly.
  • Place bread onto a parchment paper lined tray.
  • Cut the bread in half and spread olive spread evenly over both sides. If not many air pockets in the bread or if it is a really thick loaf, you may want to hollow out a small amount of the bread.
  • Evenly layer the sliced meat and cheese over each side of the bread and close the sandwich. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the top then weigh down with a cast iron pan. Refrigerate for 4 to 5 hours or overnight. If leaving overnight, I recommend wrapping in plastic wrap.
  • Slice and serve.
