Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
1 loaf of Italian bread, 12 inches long
1 small container (7 ounces) mixed olive tapenade (see
recipe below)
1/4 (or 1/2) pound ham slices
1/4 (or 1/2) pound of sliced salami
1/4 (or 1/2) pound sliced mortadella
1/4 (or 1/2) pound of sliced provolone cheese
1/2 cup fire-roasted red peppers
2 cups of loosely packed arugula
3 Roma Tomatoes sliced
Red Wine Vinegar
Olive oil
Instructions
Using a serrated knife, slice about 2 inches from the top of
the loaf. Split the loaf horizontally and scoop out some of the soft bread from
both halves, leaving a 1-inch-thick shell. (Reserve the soft center of the loaf
for another use, if desired).
Spread half of the olive tapenade in the bottom half, then
layer with some pieces of fire-roasted red peppers, then layer with mortadella,
ham, salami, and provolone cheese.
Spread the remaining olive tapenade on top of the cheese,
add more pieces of red peppers, and top with fresh arugula and slices of Roma
tomatoes. Sprinkle with Olive oil and red wine vinegar.
Place the top half of the loaf on top and cut it into 4 or 6
wedges. Serve.
