Equipment

  • 1 bread knife

Ingredients

  • 4 Long Italian Style Hoagie Rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar optional
  • 1/2 pound thin sliced capicola or hot capicola
  • 1/2 pound soprassata salami or hot soprassata
  • 1/4 pound Genoa salami
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced provolone cheese
  • 1 large tomato thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sliced romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce
  • 3 tablespoons cherry pepper hoagie spread optional
  • Sliced pickled sweet or hot peppers optional

Instructions

  • Carefully slice the rolls lengthwise being mindful not to cut all the way through.
  • Open the rolls slightly and stand, open side up, on a flat surface or cutting board.
  • Drizzle the oil and vinegar, if using, on the cut side of the rolls.
  • Layer the cheese and meats on the bottom half of the rolls.
  • Top the hoagies with the lettuce, onions and tomatoes.
  • Spread the hoagie spread on the top side of the rolls and cut the sandwiches in half.
  • Serve with sweet and hot peppers, olive oil and hoagie spread.

Notes

  • Add more or less hoagie spread. The hoagie spread is traditionally served on the side, so you can add as much or as little as you want. 
  • Add more meats. There's always room for more, right? Toss on some turkey, ham, proscuitto, or whatever else your heart desires.
  • Keep the oil and vinegar aside if making ahead. If you add oil and vinegar to your bread and plan on eating the sandwich later, you may not like how they soak into the bread and possibly make it soggy. Avoid that by keeping some oil and vinegar packets on hand if you can grab some from your local deli!
  • Use good bread. Grab some good freshly baked hoagie rolls from your local grocery store bakery. A sandwich is only ever as good as the bread it's served with!
