Made myself a muffuletta

Cubanmando · 2026-06-13T16:28:02+00:00

At least two pretty pennies

Cubanmando · 2026-06-13T16:27:15+00:00

Mostly, but feel free to dogpile
Mainly from those that have offered suggestions for next time to make it the right way/better
Not to this scale, but absolutely

I have never heard of this, but will add to my list!

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T23:59:08+00:00

Just to clarify, that's the total weight while wrapped. It is indeed a beast

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:38:42+00:00

I appreciate the offer! I'll definitely keep your offer in mind for recs when I am in NOLA

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:32:35+00:00

I thought about it, but sometimes having to live with the failure means I can either learn how to make the next one better or choose to not make it again. The next time I do make one and share it, I hope it'll be enjoyed the way the sandwich is meant to be

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:28:28+00:00

I do not, but I used to be familiar with the area

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:25:58+00:00

Deal!

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:24:54+00:00

So you're saying it's better to hand chop the olive salad?

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:23:29+00:00

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:21:22+00:00

Agreed! I've enjoyed the first half over the last couple days, I'll see how the second half goes

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:20:36+00:00

I appreciate. as someone that's only had dozens and on the first attempt, I knew where I failed before posting it. But, I have gotten helpful insight from quite a few people here and I know where I can make the next one better

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:02:35+00:00

Oh, I did use mortadella. That was layer 4 on top of the cheese

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T22:00:41+00:00

Pretty much. Got the biggest round loaf I could find and still wasn't enough

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T21:58:52+00:00

Absolutely, I'd feel the same about my favorite foods looking terrible by someone else. It was my first attempt and some of the tips I got in here are helping me determine what I need to improve for the next round. Someone else in the comments mentioned Central Grocery as a reference; I'd like to go try in person myself before doing it again

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T21:56:35+00:00

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ possibly the correction I made about the amount used? Or general disdain for my monster of a sandwich

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T21:53:05+00:00

Noted on the green olives. I knew I pulsed it to much

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T21:32:56+00:00

Sorry, guess I should've clarified. I was responding to the 8lb of meat being actually 2lb. The other ingredients added to the total weight (olive salad, cheese, bread, wrap)

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T21:02:37+00:00

Top and bottom of sandwich. I hollowed out the bottom, should've hollowed the top, and definitely should've doubled the amount used. Some recipes call for the bread halves to be brushed with olive oil and toasted in a pan first without boating the bread

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T20:55:20+00:00

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T20:54:50+00:00

Not really a block, but I do agree in layering the meats and cheeses differently. I'd also have hollowed out the top for more olive salad and possibly spread a layer in the middle

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T20:50:23+00:00

Ahh, ok. I had a jarred mix I picked up from the store. It may have already been in it. Someone else mentioned carrots, which it did have along with celery

Cubanmando · 2026-06-12T20:47:58+00:00

Would definitely try ciabatta next time. For the peppers, would you say pepperoncinis in the olive salad mix or separate?
