If I attempted to say the word Muffaletta on the TAV podcast, there’s just no way I’d get it out right. But I’m told it’s a New Orleans classic and let’s be honest, is there any other kind? It also has olives if you like those; where as I’m on the fence about olives, and by that I mean I’m not a fan. If you are, enjoy!

– 1 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives

– 1 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed green olives

-1⁄2 cup chopped pepperoncini

-1⁄2 cup jarred roasted red peppers

– 2 tablespoons capers

– 3 green onions, minced

– 3 plum tomatoes, chopped

– 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

– 1⁄2 teaspoon dried marjoram

– 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme

– 1⁄4 cup olive oil

– 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

– Salt and freshly ground black pepper

– 4 individual kaiser rolls, or other crusty sandwich rolls, halved horizontally

First using a medium bowl, combine the kalamata olives, green olives, pepperoncini, red peppers, capers, green onions, tomatoes, parsley, marjoram, thyme, oil, vinegar, and salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside and take a five, because that’s a lot of ingredients and what-nots!

Then remove some of the inside of the sandwich rolls to make room for the filling. Spoon the filling mixture into the bottom half of the rolls, packing lightly. Top with remaining roll halves and serve… Makes 4 sandwiches.
