MUFFULETTA OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Place bell pepper on a sheet pan lined with foil or parchment paper and roast until skins are blackened and flesh is soft, about 25-30 minutes. Transfer the bell pepper to a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• Let the pepper rest until cool enough to handle. Remove the skin, stem, seeds and membrane and discard. Place the flesh of the pepper into a food processor.
• Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well chopped. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate overnight for the flavors to marry.

Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
• To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
• Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
