Run with the Books and Hurry Home For Fast Meals (September 3 – September 9, 2017)

Who doesn’t love a good Muffuletta sandwich? New Orleans cuisine tops the charts on all the real flavors; but, it is possible to make this at home with the right ingredients. First, decide if you prefer individual Muffulettas or one big long Muffuletta to be cut and shared. Then, select your bread. Muffuletta bread is available or can be special ordered. Make a small portion of garlic butter and reserve it on the side. In a food processer, drain and pulse green and black pitted olives. Seriously, ONLY pulse this. You don’t want mush. Remove the olives, add just a tiny touch of olive oil and set it to the side. Toast the bread or brown it in a skillet. Layer on Provolone cheese, deli-style ham, pastrami and salami. Shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes are a must; but, always top the personal deli-selections with the olive mixture. (My personal touch is to drizzle a good balsamic vinegar onto the deli meat to add the extra pop of flavor.) Then, brush the bread bun top with the garlic butter. Oh, so yummy and it is fast, too! So, run with the back to school books and fast-track with the tasty goodies – school is back in session! Enjoy! © Kelly McBride Loft
