Mamma Mia Sandwich

Ingredients

• 1 ciabatta roll or Italian sub roll
• 3-4 slices salami
• 2 slices sweet capicola
• 2 slices hot capicola
• 2 slices mortadella
• 2 slices provolone
• 1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped
• 1/4 cup sweet cherry peppers
• 1/4 cup hot cherry peppers
• 1/4 cup cherry pepper brine
• 3 tbsp. sweet onion, chopped
• 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
• 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pulse all ingredients in a food processor or blender until you reach your preferred texture.

2. 2

   Keep some texture rather than blending completely smooth — the small pieces create dimension.

3. 3

   Refrigerate for at least 12–24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.

4. 4

   Before using, drain slightly so the sauce remains bold without compromising the bread’s structure.

   --- Assembly ---

6. 6

   Slice the roll horizontally.

7. 7

   Generously spread the pepper sauce on both sides of the bread.

8. 8

   Layer salami, sweet capicola, hot capicola, mortadella, and provolone.

9. 9

   Close the sandwich and press gently.

10. 10

    Let it rest for several minutes before slicing.

11. 11

    That brief resting period allows the sauce to settle and the flavors to integrate — an understated but essential step.
