Big Bread Sandwich

[SP1200]

This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks called Silver Palate. The only thing I changed is instead of doing the sausage, eggplant and peppers in a pan I did them on the grill.

I took a large round loaf and sliced it into 4 layers. Here is how it went down...

Bottom layer of bread
grilled peppers lightly coated with a vinaigrette
grilled sausage
fresh parsley
dried oregano
2nd layer of bread
drizzle of olive oil
homemade garlic anchovy mayo
prosciutto
tomatoes
gouda cheese
2 bunches of arugula
fresh parsley
dried oregano
salt
pepper
3rd slice of bread
ricotta cheese mixed with parmigiano-reggiano cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley
grilled eggplant marinated in a vinaigrette
top slice of bread
Then I wraped the sandwich and set it in a pan and placed a cast iron pan on top to weight it down and let it sit over night. See pics

I took it out to the boathouse for a picnic

Do not attempt to eat this sandwich without red wine. I had an Aussie Red. Sooo Good
