Summer Picnic Sandwich with Roasted Red Pepper Spread
Ingredients:
1 loaf of bread (Ciabatta, Calabrese or your favourite loaf)
For the Toppings:
127g assorted deli cold cuts
3 large slices swiss cheese
3 large slices marble cheese
Cucumber slices
Shredded romain lettuce
Hot banana peppers
Mayo
For the Roasted Red Pepper Spread:
1 jar (296 ml) mild roasted red peppers
1 tsp Calabrian chilis in oil
1 tsp sugar
6 large fresh basil leaves
1 garlic clove
Salt to taste
Method
First you want to make the Roasted Red Pepper Spread. Add the entire jar (including the liquid) of mild roasted red peppers into a food processor along with the Calabrian chilis, sugar, basil leaves and garlic. Blend until smooth and then season with salt to taste.
To build the Picnic Style Sandwich, slice the loaf of bread lengthwise down the middle. Hollow out some of the bread on the top piece to make room for the toppings. On the bottom piece of bread, spread on a generous amount of roasted red pepper spread. On the top piece of bread, spread on some mayo.
Onto the bottom piece of bread, begin to layer on the Swiss and marble cheese and assorted deli cold cuts. Top with cucumber slices, hot banana peppers, shredded romaine lettuce and the top piece of bread. Slice into picnic style sandwiches (about 4) and enjoy!
