Mufuletta

I get tired of packing the same old turkey sandwiches to take to soccer games and cross country meets.  I recently ran across this recipe for a Muffuletta on CountryLiving.com - a new take on the classic turkey and ham sandwich.  With a weeks worth of games and meets, there was no better time to try the new sandwich.  I paired our muffuletta with cheese and crackers, grapes, apples and dip, salsa with baked scoops and homemade granola bars for a picnic fit for a champion.  Even though we didn't sit down and eat our meal together, it was still a great dinner.  Best of all - there are no dishes to wash after a picnic supper. 

Muffuletta Sandwich
1 round loaf multigrain bread
olive tapanede
1/4 pound thinly sliced mortadella
1/4 pound thinly sliced salami
1/4 pound thinly sliced ham
1/4 pound thinly sliced provolone

Slice bread in half.

Hollow out some of the bread from the top.

Spread olive tapanade on the top of the bread.







 








Layer meats and cheese inside bread.  Replace top.







Cut into 6 wedges.

 
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.  Serve cold or wrap in foil and warm in the oven.

A quick glance at our October calendar leads me to believe that will be eating picnic dinners quite often this month.  I better stock up on yummy breads and lunch meat.

Ciao!
