Mom's Sit Sandwich (Aka Squishy Sorta Muffuletta)
By: Julesong
May 9, 2002
From my Family Recipe Box, Mom loves this sandwich! "This sandwich is a 'smashing success'... in more ways than one. It's a great traveler." You must admit, it is pretty amusing. 
From the Family Recipe Box, dated 3/1/85. The sandwich keeps well, chilled, and is good for taking along on picnics and camping trips.
SERVES 6
Ingredients
- 1 large round loaf French bread (or oval "peasant" loaf, or sourdough)
- 1 (6 1/2 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained, liquid reserved (you can use the hearts whole or roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
- 3 ounces thinly sliced salami
- 1/2 lb thinly sliced unsmoked turkey breast
- 1/4 lb cheese slice, any kind (provolone and fresh mozzarella are my faves)
- 1 (2 1/2 ounce) can sliced ripe black olives, drained
- 1 purple onion, thinly sliced (amount to taste)
Directions
1
Cut loaf of bread in half horizontally and hollow out the soft bread from both halves, leaving a shell about 3/4-inch thick.2
Reserve soft bread for another use.3
In small bowl, combine artichoke liquid with mayonnaise and spread onto bread shells.4
In bottom half, layer ingredients at least three times until mounded high, beginning and ending with tomatoes.5
Place top half of bread over mound of ingredients.6
Wrap entire loaf tightly with plastic wrap.7
This must be assembled at least 2 hours before serving, but can be assembled up to 8 hours before serving.8
Refrigerate.9
Before serving, place sandwich (wrapped in plastic) on a hard surface and SIT ON IT! This smashes the ingredients together and makes it easier to serve. Do not omit this step, strange as it seems, as this step is what makes the sandwich delicious.10
Slice the loaf into wedges or slices to serve.11
Note: I usually roughly chop the artichoke hearts, myself. Also, regarding the artichoke juice mixture: you can add only half of it to the mayo, if you like - how much of the spread you're going to need depends on the size of loaf you've gotten.12
Note #2: other good additions I've made to the sandwich include strips of roasted red and yellow pepper, whole fresh basil leaves (placed on top of the tomatoes) or pesto into the mayo, pepperoncini and/or sliced sweet red cherry peppers, pancetta, and more salami or other hard sausage than the recipe calls for.13
Note #3: any leftover mayo mixture, by the way, makes a great salad dressing! I once accidentally used the juice from a jar larger than the recipe called for and the mixture was far more than I needed -- so to thicken it up a bit I added a bit of lowfat sour cream, and made the leftover mixture (much to my husband's delight) available as salad dressing. Yum!

We loved this! We had a picnic with some friends and to avoid needing a knife I made individual sandwiches on ciabatta rolls, which also may have made for easier handling, since the sandwich filling was pretty contained. The only other significant change was using pesto rather than the mayo spread; just a personal preference since I'm not a big mayo fan. Overall, the sandwiches were a huge hit and the only thing better than the look on our friends' faces when I told them that they had to sit on the sandwich before they could eat it, was the look on our kids' faces when we actually did it. It was great!

I followed the recipe pretty close; the only exceptions I made were using a ciabatta loaf and turkey pepperoni instead of salami. I made the sandwich in the morning and refrigerated it for an hour then packed it in the cooler where it sat for a couple of hours and it was perfect. Because I used ciabatta, I don’t think I would let it sit for more than 4 or 5 hours total. This was a big hit at the picnic and of course the whole “sit thing” was a lot of fun!

This is absolutely delicious. I made this after asking for some suggestions for picnic type recipes in 'request a recipe'. Very easy to put together and great flavours, I used chicken instead of turkey and a garlic salami. I had told my husband what we were meant to do with it once we got to our picnic destination, and he gave me this kinda 'oh yeah?' look..well anyway...we unpack the cooler overlooking Caroline Bay in Timaru, a few fellow picknickers around I might add..and Im thinking...hmmm..Im gonna get some weird looks if Im seen sitting on my lunch!..and no amount of persuasion would get dh to do it..so I grabbed a cloth...placed sandwich on the bench seat, covered it with a cloth and then quickly sat on it...WELL...the air escaped from the plastic wrap and these extremely LOUD noises erupted from said sandwich..and then all dh and I could do was burst out laughing..honestly it was hilarious! Putting aside the fun side of this recipe it really is very good..and I will be making it again and again.

I assembled this sandwich (using cheddar and provolone cheese) early last Saturday morning to take along on our monthly 4 wheeler outing. Many people attend this event, each bringing his or her own lunch, and we all gather in a central location to eat and socialize. When lunchtime arrived, I proudly produced this big sandwich from the cooler and set it on the picnic table. I then turned around to grab something else and when I turned back to the sandwich my son was beginning to unwrap it!!! I yelled, NO!!! NOT YET!!! IT'S NOT DONE!!! (I was a little moody) My son, my husband and many others just looked at me like I was outta my mind!!! After all - it LOOKED done! I then marched my self over to the table, grabbed the sandwich, set it on the bench and SAT on it, just as directed! You should have heard the gasps and seen the look on the faces around me! It was a hoot! I'm still laughing! Thank so much Julesong not only for a GREAT lunch, but for a great laugh!!
