Muff

A homemade sandwich that Jen just made was really awesome!!! If you've never had a good ole New Orleans Muff, I highly recommend you try this. If you don't want to make it at home, you can get one that is nearly this good at Jason's Deli. From her blog:

DH and I made the olive relish for muffaletta sandwiches last night. Here is what we used based on several recipes I found on the net. I'll post about how it was after we try it. It has to marinate for at least 24 hours. We'll probably eat some for dinner tomorrow night.

Muffalettas
Makes 4 quartered sandwiches

1/2 lb total of good ham, genoa salami and hard salami
1/2 lb of good cheese- havarti, provolone and/or mozzarella
1 1/2 lb round loaf italian bread
1 c olive relish (below)

Slice bread into top and bottom pieces. Warm bread for 3 minutes in 350 degree oven. Top each half with 1/2 c of olive relish, meats and cheeses. Heat til warmed through and cheese is melted.

Olive Relish

3.5 oz pouch green olives with pimientos, drained & minced
3.8 oz can sliced black olives, drained & minced
16 oz jar Mezzetta Italian Giardiniera (pickled veggies w/ cauliflower), drained & minced
1/4 c pepperoncinis, minced
1/2 c roasted red/yellow peppers, minced
2 T minced garlic
1 t celery seed
1 t oregano
1 pinch black pepper
1/3 c red wine vinegar
1/3 c canola + olive oil (you may want more oil)

Mix everything together in a bowl and allow to marinate for 24 hours.

And here's her follow-up post...good work, babe!
