What is Muffaletta?
Muffaletta or Muffuletta is a type of Sicilian bread. Bread is traditionally baked in the form of flat round sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is dense, with texture and flavor, which is often compared with Focacca, known Italian bread. This bread can be obtained in some Italian markets and bakeries and some chefs like to do it at home. Muffaletta is the "best sandwich in the world". New Orleans, who know about this famous sandwich, often hold a stop in Deli to buy a "muff" as the locals call it. A thick layer of olive salad is used to cover the lower half, followed by layers of meat and cheese. Filed Italian pork products such as Salami, Mortadella and Ham are common, along with Emmentaler and Provolone cheeses. Muffaletta can be dressed with a little mustard before closing and wrapped for sale.
In general, the only muff is a lot of food. Many people preferbuying sandwich in half or neighborhoods if they eat alone. Others can divide the muffletta with friends. The sandwich mixes the slightly acidic taste of olives with cream cheese and salty meat tones to create a somewhat harmonious total. It is a popular picnic and lunch because it can be easily packed and transported for several hours.
New Orleans residents often preferred the Delika and restaurant for their muffletta. It is still possible to buy a sandwich in the central food industry and progress and The Come Back Inn are also known for their mufflets. It is also possible to make this sandwich at home of course and Muffaletta is robust enough to hold in the fridge overnight, for people who want it in advance. For people who want the characteristic New Orleans to taste, olive salad can be sent from special foods to most regions of the world.
