SANDWICHES

Method

SANDWICHES

  1. 1

    Prep and dress bread

    Cut the Italian loaf in half lengthwise. Open the loaf and brush both interior sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, toast the cut sides lightly until just fragrant.

  2. 2

    Layer meats and cheese

    On the bottom half, evenly layer Genoa salami slices (about 8 slices). Top with Provolone cheese slices (about 6 slices).

  3. 3

    Add fresh produce

    Place tomato slices on the cheese, season lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add romaine lettuce leaves and thin slices of red onion over the tomatoes. Scatter banana pepper slices on top.

  4. 4

    Make dressing and finish

    In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil (1 tablespoon) with red wine vinegar and dried oregano. Drizzle dressing over the vegetables, then sprinkle with fresh basil leaves. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble and serve

    Close the sandwich with the top half of the loaf. Press gently, cut into halves, and serve immediately.
