Muffuletta

Description

Muffuletta is a traditional sandwich that's originally been made by Italian immigrants in New Orleans. This large sandwich consists of a split loaf filled with olive salad, salami, ham, mortadella, and cheeses such as mozzarella and provolone. The olive salad is often made with a mixture of olives, capers, shallots, peperoncini peppers, and giardiniera - an Italian relish of pickled vegetables. The sandwich is typically served cold, and due to its size, it is sold in quarters, halves, or full-sized for the hungriest consumers.
