Preparation

Step 1

Halve the rolls horizontally, leaving one edge uncut to form a hinge. Moisten the cut side of the rolls with vinaigrette, and on the bottom halves of the rolls layer the salami, the prosciutto, mortadella, capicola and then the provolone, peppers, lettuce and onions.

In a small bowl whisk red wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, oil, and stir in fresh herbs, drizzle the dressing over the fillings, and cover the fillings with the top halves of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half.
