Pressed Italian Picnic Sandwich with Olive Relish
RECIPE COURTESY OF VALERIE BERTINELLI
Level: Easy
Total: 4 hr 30 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 small celery rib, finely chopped
1 small clove garlic, finely grated
1 cup pitted olives, preferably a mix of colors, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 large loaf ciabatta, split horizontally
1/2 pound sliced provolone
2 to 3 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
2 to 3 ounces thinly sliced roasted turkey
2 to 3 ounces thinly sliced ham
2 to 3 ounces thinly sliced mortadella

Directions

Stir together the celery, garlic, olives, parsley, olive oil and Italian seasoning in a medium bowl.

Put the bottom half of the ciabatta on a work surface. Arrange half of the cheese on the bread, then top with the salami, turkey, ham and mortadella. Top the meat with the remaining cheese and the olive relish. Cover the sandwich with the top of the ciabatta.

Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap and place it on a baking sheet. Place another baking sheet on top of the sandwich and weigh it down with a few large cans or a heavy skillet. Refrigerate the sandwich for at least 4 hours and up to 8.

When ready to serve, unwrap the sandwich and cut into 6 to 8 pieces

    This sandwich reminds me of my Nana. She always had lunch meats and cheese waiting for us when we would visit her ❤

    Firstly, who doesn’t love Val? Secondly, I live an hour from NOLA. It’s not a City Grocery muffuletta, but this is fantastic. Thanks, V!

    Dear Food Network executes, I’m unsubscribing as soon as Valerie’s new shows on this channel stop being posted. Hopefully, she’s already working on her own YouTube channel. I will be one of her first subscribers on day one. She is one of America’s most cherished television sweethearts from my younger days. I’ve had a crush on her ever since the first episode of “One Day at a Time”. I’m loyal to the people who add value to my life, not the corporations they work for.

    Val, little sis, God's now picking out the husband of your dreams. Stay faithful & confident 😘

    Loved Valerie’s show. Hers was a real how-to cooking show and not one of these dozens on competition shows they clutter up Food Network.

  23. Kathryn Bellerose

    Excellent! I am Italian and we made the same type of sandwich and relish. I still use the relish all the time. Love Valerie l think she is a good actress, human being, and great at reinventing herself.
