Breadless Italian Sub Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise and pesto in a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Cut the top off the pepper and slice the pepper in half. Remove the seeds and white pith.
• Cover the inside of each pepper half with the pesto mayonnaise and top with provolone. Layer the mushrooms and spinach on top of the provolone, and the basil on top of the spinach. Place final slice of provolone on the pepper half that you are using as the top to help hold the ingredients in and close each half together. Wrap in parchment and use a toothpick to hold in place.

Steps:

• Stir together the oil, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
• Using a serrated knife, slice open the rolls. Drizzle half the dressing on the roll bottoms and sprinkle on the oregano. Divide the cold cuts, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onion and pepperoncini evenly among the bottom rolls. Top with the basil, if using. Drizzle the remaining dressing on the top halves of the rolls and place on top to make sandwiches. Wrap in wax paper. Slice in half and serve.

Steps:

• Soak the onion slices in a large bowl of cold water, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, split the bread lengthwise, then pull out some of the bread from the inside. Drizzle 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil on the bottom half. Season with salt and pepper.
• Layer the cheese and meat on the bottom half of the bread. Drain the onion and pat dry. Top the meat with the onion, lettuce, pepperoncini (if using) and tomatoes. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil and sprinkle with the oregano. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the cut side of the bread top with the remaining 1 tablespoon each vinegar and olive oil, then place on top of the sandwich. Cut into 4 pieces.
