Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 1 large sub roll (approximately 12″)
- 0.1 pounds capicola, thinly sliced
- 0.1 pounds Genoa salami, thinly sliced
- 0.1 pounds boiled ham, thinly sliced
- 0.1 pounds pepperoni, thinly sliced
- 0.2 pounds provolone cheese
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 medium hot cherry peppers, destemmed, seeded, and sliced
- 1 1/4 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
Dressing
- 4 ounces red wine vinegar
- 3 ounces olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing and lettuce: In a shaker bottle, combine the red wine vinegar and olive oil, shaking well to blend. Shred the iceberg lettuce, then season it with dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Drizzle a small amount of the dressing on the lettuce and toss gently to coat. Set aside.
- Assemble the meats and cheese: Slice the sub roll horizontally and layer the capicola, Genoa salami, boiled ham, and pepperoni evenly inside the bottom half of the roll. Place the provolone cheese on top of the layered meats.
- Add vegetables: Top the cheese with the seasoned shredded lettuce, sliced hot cherry peppers, sliced tomato, and sliced onion in the amounts you prefer.
- Dress the sandwich: Drizzle the remaining red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing generously over the layered ingredients, allowing the bread and meats to soak in the flavors.
- Serve promptly: Close the sandwich and serve immediately to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. Enjoy your Italian sub while fresh!
Notes
- Ingredient amounts are for one large (approximately 12″) hero/sub/hoagie roll.
- Multiply ingredient quantities for additional sandwiches.
- Typical New York style heroes use 1/3 to 1/2 pound of deli meat and a thin layer of cheese; round deli sandwiches use about 1/4 pound of meat.
- Using a plastic squeeze bottle for the oil and vinegar makes it easy to evenly distribute dressing and customize each sandwich.
- Consume the sandwich quickly to avoid sogginess.
