Ingredients

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/3 cup olive oil
10 large pitted green olives, chopped
1/3 cup pitted, chopped kalamata olives
1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1-pound) round bread loaf (about 7 inches in diameter and 3 inches high)
4 ounces thinly sliced ham
4 ounces thinly sliced mortadella
4 ounces thinly sliced salami
4 ounces sliced provolone
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 ounces arugula leaves

Directions

Whisk the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Gradually blend in the oil. Stir in the olives and roasted peppers. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Cut the top 1-inch of the bread loaf. Set the top aside. Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread. Spread some of the olive and roasted pepper mix over the bread bottom and cut side of the bread top. Layer the meats and cheeses in the bread bottom. Top with the onions, then the arugula. Spread the remaining olive and roasted pepper mix on top of the sandwich and carefully cover with the bread top. You can serve the sandwich immediately or you can wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator a day before serving.

Cut the sandwich into wedges and serve.

delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I can't believe how something so simple can turn out so wonderful. The combo of the meats, the olive salad, and the foccacia... bread I used was out of this world. I did cheat the first time and doused the olives in Italian salad dressing-still fantastic. A great summertime meal! My husband has already asked for me to make these for football tailgating in the fall.Read more

Was expecting more, but tasted OK.

Wasn't really blown away by the flavor of this sandwich, but I like the idea of making a sandwich from the round loaf instead... of a hoagie bun.Read more

Sublime!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made 3 of these on Saturday for Super Bowl Sunday. So good--but even better on Monday! And still quite today--on Tuesday. ... And this from someone who usually doesn't like "soaky" bread. This bread had so much flavor with the dressing soaked into it, I didn't care!! Started with my own homemade pugliese, but made no other alterations. I did stuff them exceptionally full and really wrapped them tight. By Sunday afternoon, they were gorgeous.Read more
