New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich with Spicy Olive Salad

New Orleans Muffuletta Sandwich with Spicy Olive Salad

Inspiration: The iconic muffuletta sandwich from New Orleans is defined by its olive salad. Using CEREN Spicy Olive Salad brings smoky heat to this Creole–Italian fusion classic.

Ingredients

  • 1 large round loaf (ciabatta or focaccia)
  • 1 cup CEREN Spicy Olive Salad
  • 150 g mortadella (or smoked turkey for halal-friendly)
  • 150 g salami (or spicy beef sausage)
  • 150 g provolone cheese
  • 150 g mozzarella cheese
  • 1 roasted red pepper, sliced (CEREN Roasted Red Peppers work beautifully)

Instructions

Prepare bread: Slice loaf horizontally. Scoop out a little soft bread to make room for fillings.

Layer fillings: Spread CEREN Spicy Olive Salad on both halves. Layer meats, cheeses, and roasted pepper.

Press & rest: Close sandwich tightly, wrap in foil, and press with a heavy weight for at least 1 hour (to let olive salad soak the bread).

Serve: Cut into wedges.
