Came across this Chopped Italian Sandwich recipe and couldn't resist trying. The verdict from my best friend? "Incredible!" I tossed in some extra banana peppers for a spicy twist. What's your go-to ingredient for a kick?
Ingredients
- 6 slices of thinly cut provolone cheese
- 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of dried herbs from Italy
- A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper adjusted to your liking
- 6 thin slices each of ripe tomato cured ham, spicy salami, and zesty pepperoni
- 1/4 cup of creamy mayonnaise
- 2 cups of finely shredded crisp lettuce
- 4 soft hoagie or sub rolls ready to be filled
- 1/4 cup of tangy banana peppers for that extra kick
- 1/4 cup of slivers of red onion for a sharp bite
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil for that smooth texture
Instructions
- Begin by laying down a bed of shredded lettuce on a large chopping board. Over this bed, arrange layers of tomato, ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, banana peppers, and red onion slices. Dive into chopping these layered ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. Then, drizzle in the mayonnaise, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Give everything a final chop to blend all the flavors together. Generously fill each hoagie roll with the mixture and get ready to enjoy a burst of Italian flavors.
