Great Sandwich

This is a classic New Orleans Italian Muffuletta Sandwich features a delicious olive spread along with a little Chicago style twist. It’s a hearty sandwich that should feed two people. This sandwich can easily be served for dinner.

This sandwich was originally claimed to be created at Decatur Street’s Central Grocery around 1906. It contains delicious Italian meats and cheese topped with a delicious blend of olives, roasted red peppers and my favorite touch, Chicago style giardiniera.

Make sure you use a nice round crusty loaf of Sicilian bread or even foccacia bread would be delicious. This Muffuletta Sandwich is great served at parties.

1 bunch of long green onions, chopped

1/2 cup of green olives, pitted and chopped
