What is a muffuletta sandwich?

Muffuletta sandwich is one of the main foods of New Orleans, although people from the outside may not be familiar with it. It reflects the extremely diverse culture of New Orleans and rarely is located anywhere else, except for communities with large groups of former Louisiana inhabitants. In New Orleans itself, it offers many sandwich stores of muffules or "muffy" and for people who do not have access to sandwich can also be made at home. The first is bread. Sandwiches are always made of mufflet bread, rounded Sicilian bread, which is divided into half to make a sandwich. Since bread bikes are considerable, the only muffuletta sandwich is often enough to feed more people, and some shops actually sell sandwiches in half or quarters for consumption of one person.

The second important feature of the Muffuletta sandwich is olive salad, which is one of the most important ingredients in the sandwich. Olive salad usually includes a combination of olives and herbs, finely chopped and marinated. Pimientos, celery, green olives, capers, garlic, cocktail onions, parsley, salt, pepper, oregano, oil and vinegar are commonly included in olive salad, which spreads in a thick layer in sandwich.

In addition to the salad, the Muffuletta sandwich also includes Salami, Ham and Provolone. This cured meat creates layers of taste in the finished sandwich and pack a serious blow. Janomi is often used for spicy spicy taste. The sandwich can be served as it is, or further dressed with mustard, so it packs another blow. Coarse hot mustard in the best option, although it is possible to use milder mustard in a pinch.

It seems that the origin of the Muffuletta sandwich is located in Deli Central Grocery, a shop founded by Salvatore Lupa in 1906. Many Italian residents of New Orleans stopped with food for ingredients, and the magnifier noticed that many of them raised bread, meat and olive salad for lunch. In 1910 combined the ingredients and created a Muffuletta sandwich and became an immediate intervention. The round sandwich continues to be produced in the central grocery store, as in many other lunch shelves and sandwich shops around New Orleans.
