Classic New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich

This classic New Orleans sandwich combines a homemade olive salad with layers of thin-sliced Italian cold cuts. Originally created at the Central Grocery in New Orleans, when the enterprising owner suggested that customers place their typical lunch of sliced cured meat and preserved vegetables inside the bread instead of alongside it, the sandwich can now be found all over the city, and indeed the country (in varying degrees of deliciousness). As one of the few foods that actually gets better as it sits around at room temperature, it's ideal party fare. Make a few sandwiches, wrap 'em up, and slice them open as needed. With only four ingredients, it's exceedingly simple to make. Here's how you do it. Get the recipe
