Ingredients
- 400g stonebaked baguette
- 250g Essential Sliced Mozzarella
- 2 x 105g Italian antipasto platters
- 75g Italian mortadella
- 100g wedge iceberg lettuce, shredded
- ½ x 400g jar Peppadew Sweet Piquanté Peppers, drained, finely sliced
- ¼ onion, sliced as thinly as possible
- 1 tbsp olive oil, for drizzling
- 6 pickled burger gherkins, or a few sandwich gherkins (optional)
- 6 stuffed olives, drained (optional)
Method
Slice the baguette lengthways through the middle, leaving a hinge so the top is still attached, creating the potential for the giant sandwich. Scoop out a little bread from the inside and freeze to use for breadcrumbs another time.
Lay slices of the mozzarella along the whole length of the sandwich, across the hinge of the bread, so it is perfectly positioned for folding. Do the same with all the meats.
In a mixing bowl, add the shredded iceberg, sliced peppers, onion, some of the brine from the pepper jar and a little olive oil. Season. Mix well, then pack this shredded lettuce mix into the middle of the sandwich and close, pressing down firmly.
A fun way to present this is using baking parchment to wrap the sandwich, deli-style. You can also mark your portions with a burger gherkin or folded piece of sandwich gherkin, plus an olive, skewered onto cocktail sticks. Slice the loaf, then present as one giant long sandwich.
And to drink...
