Three Way Tie Sandwich Recipes

THREE-WAY TIE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice the loaf of bread in half horizontally and remove some of the soft interior to make a shallow boat of both the top and bottom halves.
• To make the burrata and curried cauliflower sandwich: On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the cauliflower, olive oil, curry powder and salt; toss well to coat. Roast until tender and beginning to brown, 20 minutes. Cool completely before using.
• Meanwhile in a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and basil with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• On one-third of the loaf of bread, spread the cut-sides (top and bottom) with the basil mayonnaise. Tear half of the burrata over the mayonnaise on the bottom half. Season with a pinch of salt and then pile the roasted cauliflower on top of the burrata. Tear the remaining burrata over the cauliflower. Top with the arugula.
• For the Italian sandwich: On the next third of the bread, shingle four pieces of provolone on the bottom half and four on the top. Layer the coppa, finocchiona and mortadella on top of the bottom half. Follow with the sliced tomato, a pinch of salt, the shredded lettuce and the giardiniera. Drizzle the greens with the white balsamic.
• For the turkey and cheese sandwich: On the last third of the bread, spread the insides (top and bottom) with the mustard and then the sweet relish. Shingle the turkey over the bottom and place the Cheddar on top.
• Place the top half of the bread of the bottom and tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Cut into slices and secure with toothpicks if needed.

SUE'S TAILGATE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice the focaccia bread in half horizontally. Mix together mayonnaise, garlic, and artichoke juice. Spread this mixture on the bread. Layer the remaining ingredients on half of the bread. Sprinkle with balsamic vinaigrette. Top with second piece of bread. Wrap in plastic wrap and then foil. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Slice into wedges and serve. Other cold cuts and cheeses can be used.
• Cut peppers in half and clean out seeds. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Grill on low-medium heat for 20 minutes. Peel off blackened skin.

MUFFULETTAS

Steps:

• Whisk the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl to blend. Gradually blend in the oil. Stir in the olives and roasted peppers. Season the vinaigrette, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Cut the top 1-inch of the bread loaf. Set the top aside. Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread. Spread some of the olive and roasted pepper mix over the bread bottom and cut side of the bread top. Layer the meats and cheeses in the bread bottom. Top with the onions, then the arugula. Spread the remaining olive and roasted pepper mix on top of the sandwich and carefully cover with the bread top. You can serve the sandwich immediately or you can wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator a day before serving.
