Muffaletta Recipe

Muffaletta is a classic New Orleans sandwich that features layers of Italian meats, cheeses, and a flavorful olive salad, all piled high on a round loaf of bread. This recipe includes a homemade olive salad made with green olives, giardiniera, roasted red peppers, shallots, capers, garlic, olive oil, and herbs. The sandwich is assembled by spreading the olive salad on the bread and layering it with meats such as capicola, mortadella, and salami, along with provolone cheese. After being pressed and allowed to rest, the muffaletta is sliced into wedges for serving, making it perfect for gatherings or picnics.
