ITALIAN SUBS

Steps:

• Soak the onion slices in a large bowl of cold water, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, split the bread lengthwise, then pull out some of the bread from the inside. Drizzle 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil on the bottom half. Season with salt and pepper.
• Layer the cheese and meat on the bottom half of the bread. Drain the onion and pat dry. Top the meat with the onion, lettuce, pepperoncini (if using) and tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil and sprinkle with the oregano. Season generously with salt and pepper.

BOSTON SAUSAGE GRINDER (OR SUBMARINE SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place sausages in roasting pan; rub sausages with oil. Roast 15 minutes. Remove sausages from oven and when they are cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size chunks, 3/4 to 1 inch. Return sausage to roasting pan. Add potatoes.
• Lower oven heat to 350 degrees. Return pan to oven and roast about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and sausages are cooked.
• Add peppers, onion, and garlic to the roasting pan. Roast about 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
• Cut loaf of Italian bread in half horizontally. Cut crosswise into sixths, for a total of 12 pieces, or 6 sandwiches (or cut 6 hoagie rolls halfway through). Place equal amounts of sausage mixture into each sandwich. Serve hot.

SCREAMING EAGLE CHEESE-STEAK SUB

Steps:

• To make chipotle mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise and minced peppers in a small bowl and stir well. (Leftover sauce may be covered and stored safely in the refrigerator for weeks.)
• To make toppings for sandwich: Heat a griddle or a large, heavy frying pan, ideally cast iron, over medium heat. Add oil to pan and, when it begins to shimmer, add the onion and peppers and stir to combine. Cook, stirring every so often, until they begin to soften and brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, remove and set aside. Wipe pan, add butter and repeat process with mushrooms. Cook until they have released their juices and are soft and glazed, about 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• To make steaks: Heat griddle or frying pan over high heat until nearly smoking. Season meat aggressively with salt and pepper. Place steaks on griddle, working in batches if necessary, and cook for 3 minutes each side, until well browned but very rare. Remove to a serving platter and allow to rest.
• To make sandwiches: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. When steaks are complete, slice them against the grain as thinly as possible. Place sub rolls in oven to warm. Return sliced steaks to griddle or frying pan, over medium heat, and add onions, peppers and mushrooms. Stir to combine, turn heat to low and cover with sliced cheese. Using tongs and a wide spatula, stir and pull to combine as cheese melts, approximately 3 minutes.
• To serve: Remove rolls from oven and spread chipotle mayonnaise on the interior of each serving. Fill each sub with a mixture of meat, vegetables and cheese. Serve immediately.

ITALIAN SUBS - RESTAURANT STYLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the lettuce, tomatoes and onion. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, parsley, garlic, basil, red pepper flakes and oregano. Pour over the salad, and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
• Spread the submarine rolls open, and layer the Capacola, salami, prosciutto, and provolone cheese evenly on each roll. Top with some of the salad, and as many pickle slices as desired. Close the rolls and serve.
