Italian Hoagie Supremo Sub Or Grinder Recipes

ITALIAN HOAGIE SUPREMO (SUB OR GRINDER)

Steps:

• Slice the Italian bread lengthwise being careful not to cut completely through. Open the bread. Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil onto both halves of the bread.
• Evenly distribute and lay out the leaves of lettuce, Genoa Salami, Pepperoni, Prosciutto di Parma, Roast Beef, Pastrami, Capicola, Mortadella, Mozzarella Cheese, Provalone Cheese, Tomato, and Onion. Evenly spread the sliced and pitted Green Olives.
• Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan Cheese. If you like crushed red pepper flakes, sprinkle with the flakes. Drizzle with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil again. Close the bread and cut in half crosswise to make 2 hoagies.

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.
• Drizzle the cut side of the bread top with the remaining 1 tablespoon each vinegar and olive oil, then place on top of the sandwich. Cut into 4 pieces.

ITALIAN HERO SANDWICH

Steps:

• Rinse the red onion under cold water, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the red wine vinegar, dried oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Arrange the rolls cut side up so they lie flat. Spread with a thin layer of mustard and/or mayonnaise, if using. Shingle the entire surface with the cheese, then the cured meats. Scatter an even layer of pickled peppers.
• Add the iceberg lettuce and olive oil to the onion-oregano mixture and toss until well coated. Season to taste with salt. Pile the lettuce on one side of the sandwich, then close the sandwich and press down lightly. If packing, wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper or foil, then cut in half crosswise. Sandwiches will keep for up to 4 hours refrigerated.
