italian sub sandwich recipe
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 2 subs 1x
- Diet: general
Description
A hearty and flavorful Italian sub sandwich featuring smoked meats and provolone cheese, elevated by a vibrant homemade sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. This recipe is perfect for a satisfying and easy lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 hoagie rolls (30 cm / 12-inch)
- 100 g thinly sliced smoked beef salami
- 100 g thinly sliced smoked beef pepperoni
- 100 g thinly sliced smoked turkey breast
- 6 slices provolone cheese (~120 g)
- 1/2 head romaine lettuce, shredded
- 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 5 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 60 g sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained
- 60 ml apple cider vinegar
- 120 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 15 g fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 5 ml dried oregano
- 2 ml red pepper flakes
- 2 ml fine sea salt
- 1 ml black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Roast Garlic: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Roast unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until soft. Let cool slightly, then peel.
- Prepare Vinaigrette: Combine roasted garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, fresh basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth and emulsified.
- Assemble Sandwich Base: Slice each hoagie roll lengthwise, leaving a hinge. Layer the salami, pepperoni, turkey, and provolone cheese evenly on the bottom half of each roll.
- Add Vegetables: Place the shredded romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onion over the provolone cheese, pressing down gently to compact the fillings.
- Dress and Serve: Generously drizzle approximately 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of the sun-dried tomato vinaigrette over the vegetables in each sub. Fold the top half of the bread over the fillings, then slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a sturdy bread like a hoagie roll, ciabatta, or baguette. For best results, shred the lettuce and slice the onions thinly for even flavor distribution. To prevent sogginess when making ahead, apply the vinaigrette just before serving.
