Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • 2 large jarred pepperoncini peppers, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
  • Black pepper
  • 1 round bread (about 8 inch diameter)
  • 1/4 lb. thinly sliced Capicola ham
  • 1/4 lb. thinly sliced Genoa salami
  • 1 11.5 oz. jar roasted red peppers, each split
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 oz. thinly sliced provolone (about 8 slices)

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the olives, peppers, parsley, oil, vinegar, capers and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
  2. Split the bread in half and scoop out the inside of both the top and bottom, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell.
  3. Spread the olive mixture on the cut sides of the bread and form a large sandwich with the ham, salami, roasted red peppers, spinach and provolone.
  4. Wrap the whole sandwich in plastic wrap and place on a large plate or rimmed baking sheet. Place a second plate or baking sheet on top and put heavy cans on the plate to weigh it down. Refrigerate for 6 hours or up to overnight. Cut into wedges before serving.
