Pressed Italian Sandwich
Ingredients
1 Gourmet Sandwich Roll
1/2 cup store-bought black or green olive tapenade
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound thinly sliced Genoa salami
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1/4 pound thinly sliced spicy Italian cold cuts, such as coppa or capicola
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1 roasted red bell pepper, chopped
6 leaves fresh basil, torn into bite-size pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Spread bottom half of Gourmet Sandwich Roll with tapenade. Drizzle cut side of top half with vinegar and oil.
Arrange salami on top of tapenade, followed by the prosciutto, cold cuts, mozzarella, red pepper, and basil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste and place top half of loaf on filling.
Wrap sandwich thoroughly with plastic wrap or foil. Place a heavy cutting board or another flat object on top of sandwich and weight it down with a 2- to 4-lb. weight (such as a large pot or six-pack of soda). Let sit 30 minutes to 2 hours. Unwrap, cut into eighths, and serve.
