Ingredients
  

  • 3 slices of Spicy Genoa Salami
  • 2 slices of Aged Provolone Cheese
  • 1/2 cup of Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
  • 3 slices of Vine-Ripened Tomato
  • 1 Soft Italian Sub Roll approximately 8 inches
  • 1 tablespoon of Zesty Italian Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon of Creamy Garlic Aioli instead of regular mayonnaise
  • 3 slices of Smoked Black Forest Ham
  • 2 slices of Hot Capicola
  • 4-5 slices of Mild Banana Peppers for an added kick
  • A pinch of Cracked Black Pepper

Equipment

  • toaster

Method
 

  1. Ensure you have everything laid out in front of you. Preparation makes for a smooth assembly later on.
  2. Slice the Italian sub roll horizontally. If desired, lightly toast the inside for a few moments in a hot pan or toaster. This adds a delightful crispness.
  3. On the bottom half of your sub roll, spread the zesty Italian dressing generously. On the top half, slather on the creamy garlic aioli. This helps lock in moisture and flavor.
  4. Start layering the meats. Begin with the salami, followed by the black forest ham, and then the capicola. Each layer should be evenly distributed for balanced flavors.
  5. Place the aged provolone on top of the meats. Let it rest for a moment. That warmth from the bread can slightly melt the cheese, making it even more delicious.
  6. Now, add the shredded iceberg lettuce and slices of tomato. Finally, top it off with those vibrant banana peppers. Feel free to adjust based on your preferences!
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of cracked black pepper over the veggies to enhance flavor.
  8. Carefully close the sandwich, pressing down gently to ensure it holds together.
  9. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally. Serve it with your chosen sides on a plate, and enjoy!
