Italian Grinder Sandwich

I made a couple of changes to the original recipe to create something a bit different and use my personal favorite ingredients as well.

Sandwich Ingredients

– Everything Ciabatta Rolls
– Mixed Italian Meats (salami, capocollo, prosciutto)
– Havarti Cheese
– Beefsteak or heirloom tomato

Italian Grinder Slaw

– 1/2 cup Mayo, I used black truffle Mayo by Truff
– 1/2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
– 1 tsp Oregano
– 1/2 tsp Salt
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning, I used Herbs De Provence
– 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
– 1 tsp minced garlic
– 1/3 cup peperoncini peppers
– 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
– 3-4 cups iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced

How To Make The Irresistibly Loaded Italian Grinder Sandwich

Start by preheating the oven to 400.
.
Add all grinder slaw ingredients to a bowl and mix until evenly coated. Set aside.
.
Slice your rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet and toast in the oven just until lightly toasted.
.
Add Havarti cheese to both sides of the roll. Then start layering your meats. I kept mine strictly Italian meats but the original recipes have Turkey in them as well. You decide which meats you want to include, you can’t go wrong. Place back in the oven until the cheese is melted and the meat is hot.
.
Remove from oven and scoop grinder slaw to each roll, give it a good helping. Then place the top of the ciabatta roll back on and you are ready to enjoy!
