Super Bowl Italian Submarine Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Cut bread in half lengthwise; hollow out top and bottom, leaving a 1/2-in. shell (discard removed bread or save for another use). , In a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano and pepper; brush on cut sides of bread. On the bottom half, layer half of the meats, cheeses and green pepper. Repeat layers. Replace bread top. Wrap tightly; refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cut into 12 slices to serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the sirloin, pork and veal, and brown until no longer pink, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the meat and store in a bowl, leaving the juices and fat in the Dutch oven.
• Sweat the garlic, onions and Italian seasoning in the Dutch oven, stirring frequently to insure they do not burn. Once the onions are translucent, add the meat back to the pan and then add the wine to deglaze. Add in the tomatoes and milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sandwich Build: Place a piece of cheese in each hoagie roll. Place some meat on top and the some giardiniera on the top of it all. Serve with a pint of Chianti.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to low broil.
• Halve the rolls lengthwise, then slice on the bias into triangular nacho chip shapes. Generously coat the pieces with olive oil and season with salt. Place on 2 rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and broil until just golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. They should still have give and a chew. Set aside.
• Set a medium skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. When the pancetta starts to sizzle, stir every minute or so, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Cool to room temperature.
• Cover the surface of a table or long wooden cutting board with parchment paper or butcher paper. First, spread a layer of the shaved iceberg on the paper. Next, layer on the golden-brown nacho chip-sized oily pieces of sub rolls. Then, add the mortadella, capicola (AKA gabagool) chiffonade and Genoa salami, ribboned around, making sure everything has some height. Next, add the pancetta followed by the Asiago cheese and mozzarella. Add the tomatoes followed by the giardiniera. Finally, using a squeeze bottle, douse it in the vinaigrette. Serve with chips on the side if you like.
• Ring the bell and beckon the kids. Don't forget your sub bib either.

Steps:

• Split the bread in half lengthwise. Top the bottom half with the mortadella, capicola, salami, prosciutto and provolone. Toss the giardiniera in a bowl with the olives, peppers and olive oil. Tear out the soft center of the top bread half to make a shell. Pack the lettuce into the center of the bread and top with the giardiniera mixture. Carefully put the two sandwich halves together, pressing to keep the filling inside. Secure with small skewers and cut into pieces.
