My thoughts on ingredients: You'll need ham and provolone, I suggest a prettier Imported Ham. Every recipe I see calls for "salami", I used Genoa Salami. Add green olives, some type of pickled peppers, oregano and olive oil and I think anything else from here on out works. Possibilities: giardiniera, pepperoncini, hot pepper rings, capers, black olives, grated Parmesan, red bell pepper, jalapenos, pickled jalapenos, and celery (it's good and crunchy, go ahead and add it in:@). What's missing? Onion, leave it out.
I didn't want to make a huge batch so I asked for 1/4" slice of each meat and cheese at the deli (I used about half of the ham, it's so much bigger than the salami and cheese) diced them into 1/4" (or a little smaller) cubes, then just added what seemed like a good amount of everything else.
Mufflaetta Bruschetta- adapted from Ms. enPlace
1/4 lb ham, thickly sliced
1/4 lb salami, thickly sliced
1/4 lb provolone cheese, thickly sliced
1 C chopped green olives
1/2 C giardiniera mix-I used a few mild banana pepper rings, diced
1 Tblsp capers-didn't have these
1 tsp dried oregano-or to taste
Splash of juice from olives-I used olive oil
2 loaves French bread
Also added celery and some fresh jalapeno because I forgot to get a red pepper
- Small dice the meats and provolone, chop up the olives and peppers/giardiniera (and anything else you add). Mix all together with oregano to taste and a drizzle of olive juice or oil. Add a little mayo if desired to help hold it together. Serve on toasted French bread.
