Hoagies Recipes

REAL ITALIAN HOAGIE

Steps:

• Slice the rolls, but not all the way through.
• Place the vinegar and oregano in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified.
• Remove some of the bread from the center of each half of roll.(if desired)
• Drizzle a little of the olive oil mixture on the bread.
• Place first the meats, then the cheese in layers.
• Top with the tomatoes, onions, then the lettuce. Drizzle with more of the dressing, as desired.

HOAGIES WITH QUICK PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• For the pepper relish: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the Fresno chiles, garlic, jalapenos, bell peppers and onion and sauté for to 4 minutes to soften. Add the vinegar, honey and mustard seeds. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• For the sandwiches: While the relish cooks, grease a griddle with the butter and place it over medium-high heat. When the griddle is hot, add the sausage pieces cut-side down and cook until well browned and crisp, about 3 minutes. Flip and place 2 pieces of provolone onto each sausage piece. Cook until the cheese has melted completely, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Build the sandwiches by spreading the mayonnaise on the bottoms of each bun and laying on a piece of lettuce. Top each with a cheese-covered sausage piece and a generous portion of the pepper relish. Replace the top half of the buns and serve.

SAUSAGE HOAGIES

Steps:

• For the spread: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Calabrian chili paste, lemon zest and salt. Set aside.
• For the sandwich: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and sausage and cook, breaking the sausage into large pieces with a wooden spoon, until golden brown, cooked through and crispy in parts, about 15 minutes. Drain off excess fat if necessary.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the arugula, basil, cider vinegar and salt. Toss well to coat.
• Split the rolls in half horizontally, leaving one side intact. Open the rolls like a book and remove and discard some of the inside of the bread. Spread 1/3 cup of the spicy mayonnaise evenly on each roll. Fill the bottom half of each roll with the crispy sausage mixture. Fill the top half of each roll with 3/4 cup of the giardiniera. Divide the dressed arugula between the sandwiches and close them, pressing gently on the top. Cut each sandwich in half and serve.

HOAGIES

Steps:

• Halve the rolls horizontally, leaving on edge cut to form a hinge, spread the mayonnaise on the cut sides of the rolls, and on the bottom halves of the rolls layer the lettuce, the onion, the salami, the capicola, the provolone, and the tomato. In a small bowl whisk together the oil, the vinegar, the orégano, the cherry peppers, and salt and pepper to taste, drizzle the dressing over the fillings, and cover the fillings with the top halves of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half.
