Time 15m

Yield Serves 4 (makes 2 full sub sandwiches)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 good-quality sub rolls or Italian bread
8 slices Genoa salami, thinly sliced
8 slices capicola, thinly sliced
8 slices ham, thinly sliced
4 slices provolone cheese, thinly sliced
4 slices mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Thinly sliced 1/2 green bell pepper
Thinly sliced 1/4 red onion
Thinly sliced tomato
1 cup shredded romaine or iceberg lettuce
1 tablespoon sliced, black olives (optional)
1 tablespoon peperoncini (optional)
6 cloves garlic
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (dried Italian herbs)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

Begin by preparing the red wine vinaigrette: add all of the ingredients up to and including the black pepper into the bowl of a food processor, and process for about 20-30 seconds until well blended; with the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until everything is well emulsified and blended.
Keep vinaigrette in a covered container, and store any unused portion in fridge for up to a couple of weeks.
To assemble the subs: split the sub rolls lengthwise in half, and scoop some of the bread out of each half; drizzle a bit of the red wine vinaigrette onto both top and bottom halves.
On the bottom half, layer a couple of slices of each of the meats, followed by a couple of slices of provolone; do another layer of the meats follow by the mozzarella.
Add some of the thinly sliced veggies, and drizzle a little more of the vinaigrette over those; add a little extra sprinkle of salt and pepper before covering the sandwich with the top half of the roll.

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
4 (6- to 8-inch-long) sub, hero or hoagie rolls, split lengthwise but attached on one side
Mustard and/or mayonnaise (optional)
4 ounces sliced provolone and/or low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1 pound thinly sliced Italian cured meats, such as salami, prosciutto, mortadella, coppa and/or soppressata
1 cup sliced pickled peppers, such as pepperoncini, banana peppers, giardiniera and/or jalapeños
1 small head iceberg lettuce (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Rinse the red onion under cold water, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the red wine vinegar, dried oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
Arrange the rolls cut side up so they lie flat. Spread with a thin layer of mustard and/or mayonnaise, if using. Shingle the entire surface with the cheese, then the cured meats. Scatter an even layer of pickled peppers.
Add the iceberg lettuce and olive oil to the onion-oregano mixture and toss until well coated. Season to taste with salt. Pile the lettuce on one side of the sandwich, then close the sandwich and press down lightly. If packing, wrap the sandwich tightly in parchment paper or foil, then cut in half crosswise. Sandwiches will keep for up to 4 hours refrigerated.
