Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large hoagie roll or Italian sub roll
  • 4 slices salami
  • 4 slices capicola (or mortadella)
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) banana pepper rings
  • 2 tbsps (30 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Split hoagie roll in half, creating a wide opening for generous filling.
  2. Gently toast roll until edges turn golden and crisp for enhanced texture.
  3. Apply a smooth, even layer of mayonnaise across both interior bread surfaces.
  4. Arrange cured meats in overlapping layers: salami, capicola, and ham creating a rich, savory foundation.
  5. Position provolone cheese atop the meat layer, allowing slight overhang for visual appeal.
  6. Distribute fresh, crisp lettuce across the cheese, creating a vibrant green backdrop.
  7. Layer thinly sliced tomatoes and delicate red onion rings for added crunch and zesty flavor.
  8. Scatter tangy banana pepper rings to introduce a subtle, spicy kick.
  9. Drizzle red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil to enhance the sandwich’s Mediterranean essence.
  10. Sprinkle a balanced blend of dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Gently press sandwich together, allowing ingredients to meld and flavors to integrate.
  12. Slice diagonally, revealing the colorful layers and creating an inviting presentation.

Notes

  • Toast the hoagie roll until golden for extra crunch and flavor depth.
  • Use high-quality deli meats for authentic Italian sub experience.
  • Slice vegetables thinly to ensure balanced texture and easier eating.
  • Let sandwich rest for 2-3 minutes after assembling to allow flavors to meld together.
