Italian Sub

Skip the deli and learn how to make your own Italian sub/hoagie. This sub uses a chewy seeded bread, a trio of Italian meats, and all the toppings to bring flavor and texture. I think this recipe beats any subs I've had at a deli, so I hope you enjoy it!

Ingredients

6 inch sub/hoagie roll seeded
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
3 slices provolone cheese
2 ounces Genoa salami thinly sliced
2 ounces capicola thinly sliced
2 ounces hot ham thinly sliced
1 tbsp hot hoagie spread (or chopped cherry peppers)
1 handful sweet peppers
1 small handful banana peppers
1/4 cup iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced
2-3 tomato slices (sprinkle with some salt before layering)
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1-2 teaspoons olive oil
1-2 teaspoons red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

Remove some of the bread filling. Use your hands to scoop out a little of the inner breading from the top and bottom portions of the roll. Be careful not to take too much.
Spread mayo. Then evenly spread mayo inside both the top and bottom portions of the roll.
Layer the cheese and meat. Layer first with the sliced provolone, salami, capicola, and then the ham.
The fixings. Spread the hoagie spread over the meats, then add the banana peppers and sweet peppers.
Add the remaining toppings. Then add the sliced tomato and the iceberg lettuce. Drizzle olive oil, vinegar, and oregano over top, then finish with a little black pepper and salt. Then slice and serve!

Notes

Serving size says one person, but if you're feeling generous, you can easily share this with someone :)

If you are making the sandwich ahead of time and worried about it getting soggy, you can pull back a little on the olive oil and vinegar and also place the mayo in between the cheese and meat as a barrier.
