Muffuletta Sandwiches

SERVINGS: 2 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 cup pitted mixed oil-packed olives
  • 1/2 cup giardiniera
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • 2 tbsp. parsley
  • 1 tbsp. capers
  • 1 medium garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 large muffuletta-style roll
  • 1/3 pound thinly sliced sweet soppressata
  • 1/3 pound thinly sliced mortadella
  • 1/3 pound thinly sliced capicola
  • 1/3 pound thinly sliced provolone cheese
  • Your favorite Raduno Infused Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. Combine olives, giardiniera, peppers, parsley and garlic in a food processor. Pulse to chop until pieces are very small, about ½ inch or smaller. Transfer to a bowl and add vinegar and Raduno oil to your preferred dose. Stir to combine.

2. Spread each half of the muffuletta roll with a generous amount of olive salad. Layer half of the soppressata, half of mortadella, half of capicola, and half of the provolone on the bottom half. Repeat layers with the remaining meat and cheese. Close the sandwich and wrap tightly in paper or plastic and let rest for 1 hour before serving.

Tips & Variations:

  • Make It Ahead: Muffuletta sandwiches are even better when made ahead of time. Assemble and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving to let the flavors fully develop.
  • Bread Matters: Authentic muffuletta bread is round, sesame-crusted, and sturdy enough to hold up to the wet olive salad without falling apart. If unavailable, use a firm Italian loaf or ciabatta.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a few dashes of hot sauce or sliced pickled jalapeños to the olive salad for a spicy twist.
  • Cheese Options: Provolone is traditional, but you can also try aged mozzarella or fontina for a creamier variation.
  • Vegetarian Version: Replace the cured meats with grilled eggplant, zucchini, roasted red peppers, and marinated artichokes for a delicious veggie muffuletta.

Serving Suggestions:

Slice the sandwich into quarters or wedges, and serve with kettle chips, a crisp side salad, or a cold pasta salad. Perfect for picnics, game day spreads, or a hearty lunch that doesn’t skimp on bold flavors. Muffulettas also pack well, making them ideal for road trips, potlucks, or weekday meal prep.

Why Raduno Olive Oil Makes It Better:

Raduno Infused Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil enhances the olive salad with layers of complexity, whether you're using their garlic-infused, citrus-infused, or chili-infused varieties, it adds richness and dimension that take this sandwich from delicious to unforgettable. A drizzle in the salad or even lightly brushed on the bread creates a flavor boost that ties all the elements together beautifully.

Whether you're channeling the spirit of New Orleans or simply craving something bold and satisfying, this Muffuletta Sandwich delivers a perfect bite every time. Flavor-packed, easy to make, and endlessly customizable , this is a sandwich worth savoring.
