Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large hoagie roll or sub roll
- 3–4 slices salami
- 3–4 slices mortadella
- 3–4 slices capicola or ham
- 2–3 slices provolone cheese
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sliced banana peppers
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) sliced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Carefully split the hoagie roll horizontally, creating two even surfaces for layering ingredients.
- Apply a smooth, consistent coating of mayonnaise across both interior bread surfaces.
- Arrange salami, mortadella, and capicola in overlapping, generous slices along the bottom bread half.
- Create a cheese foundation by placing provolone slices directly on top of the cured meats.
- Distribute crisp lettuce leaves evenly across the cheese layer for added texture.
- Scatter thinly sliced onions and tangy banana peppers over the lettuce.
- Place fresh tomato slices strategically to cover the vegetable layer.
- Whisk red wine vinegar with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing.
- Drizzle the seasoned vinegar mixture carefully over the assembled sandwich ingredients.
- Gently press the top bread half down, compressing the layers slightly.
- Slice the sandwich diagonally into two equal portions for easy serving.
Notes
- Toast the hoagie roll lightly for extra crunch and enhanced bread flavor before assembling the sandwich.
- Use fresh, high-quality deli meats for maximum flavor and texture in your Italian Grinder.
- Customize the sandwich by swapping provolone with other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for different taste profiles.
- For a low-carb version, replace the hoagie roll with lettuce wraps or use a gluten-free bread alternative.
