Ingredients:
- 2 hoagie rolls, sliced lengthwise
- 4-6 slices of ham
- 4-6 slices of Genoa salami
- 4-6 slices of capicola
- 4 slices of provolone cheese
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 4-6 slices of pepperoncini (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the Rolls: Open the hoagie rolls and drizzle each side with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle a little dried Italian seasoning on each roll for added flavor.
- Layer the Meats and Cheese: Divide the ham slices evenly between the two rolls, followed by the salami slices, and then the capicola slices. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on each roll.
- Add Vegetables: Layer the tomato slices on top of the cheese, followed by the sliced red onion, then add the 4-6 slices of pepperoncini, and finally, evenly distribute the shredded lettuce over the top.
- Season and Dress: Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon of red wine vinegar over the vegetables on each roll. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Close the Sandwich: Place the top half of each roll over the fillings, gently pressing down to compact the sandwiches slightly.
- Serve: Cut each hoagie roll in half if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, wrap the sandwiches in parchment paper and refrigerate for a couple of hours to let the flavors meld together even more.
