A sandwich that originated in New Orleans, this recipe is from the Café Maspero in the French Quarter. Traditionally, a muffaletta has venison, but this version uses pastrami, which is the Café Maspero's specialty. The time does not include the 1 hour marinating.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Olive Salad

4 ounces giardiniera, mixed marinated vegetables
3 ounces greek kalamata olives, pitted

Assembly

4 seeded rolls, sliced
1/2 lb smoked ham, thinly sliced
1/2 lb pastrami, thinly sliced
8 slices genoa salami

This is a really good sandwich, and should probably get more respect than we gave it; but the cost of the ingredients had us looking for more yet; and there was a bitterness in the olive salad we could do without. That said, it's a carnival of flavors and a big fat sandwich and will be enjoyed, especially by the adventurous. Made for Zaar World Tour 5.

Wow!!! Finally I've tried this sandwich. Don't know why I've waited so long... The sharp vinegar in the giardiniera combined with the smoothness of the kalamata and sicilian olives. Take that with the smoked and saltly goodness of the smoked ham, genoa salami, and the pastrami and the smooth creaminess of the provolone cheese, and you have perfection in a bun. Even my olive-disliking husband and daughter could not get enough of this gem. Can't wait to have it again!!! Made for ZWT5.
