Serves 6-8
Traditionally made with a 7” round loaf of bread, I prefer Ciabatta.
1- 12 oz. jar Alpino Authentic New Orleans Style Muffaletta
4 oz. thinly sliced ham
... 4 oz. thinly sliced mortadella
4 oz. thinly sliced salami
4 oz. sliced provolone
½ red onion, thinly sliced
1 ½ oz. arugula leaves
Slice bread in half across. Take some of the inside of the top half out.
Spread Alpino Muffaletta generously on both sides of bread
Layer ham, mortadella and salami on bottom half
Top with provolone, then onions, then arugula
Carefully cover with the top part of the bread
Wrap entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap for an hour or up to a day to allow juices to soak
Cut the sandwich into wedges and serve! Mmmm!

“Laissez les bon temps roulez!”
