Directions
Mom’s Sit Sandwich (Aka Squishy Sorta Muffuletta), From my Family Recipe Box, Mom loves this sandwich! This sandwich is a ‘smashing success’ in more ways than one It’s a great traveler You must admit, it is pretty amusing 🙂 From the Family Recipe Box, dated 3/1/85 The sandwich keeps well, chilled, and is good for taking along on picnics and camping trips , I will not make this because it is falsely called a muffuletta We lived in New Awlins for 7 years and they MUST have olive salad or it is not the same You got my hopes up, but I will look elsewhere cos the REAL deal is fantastic!, So flavorful, and so much fun! I’m from NOLA, and your variation on the classic is a pleasant and tasty departure! The kids love the sitting part Ha! Thank you for sharing!

Note: I Usually Roughly Chop the Artichoke Hearts, Myself. Also, Regarding the Artichoke Juice Mixture: You Can Add Only Half of It to the Mayo, If You Like - How Much of the Spread You're Going to Need Depends on the Size of Loaf You've Gotten. |

Note #2: Other Good Additions I've Made to the Sandwich Include Strips of Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper, Whole Fresh Basil Leaves (placed on Top of the Tomatoes) or Pesto Into the Mayo, Pepperoncini and/or Sliced Sweet Red Cherry Peppers, Pancetta, and More Salami or Other Hard Sausage Than the Recipe Calls For. |

Note #3: Any Leftover Mayo Mixture, by the Way, Makes a Great Salad Dressing! I Once Accidentally Used the Juice from a Jar Larger Than the Recipe Called For and the Mixture Was Far More Than I Needed -- So to Thicken It Up a Bit I Added a Bit of Lowfat Sour Cream, and Made the Leftover Mixture (much to My Husband's Delight) Available as Salad Dressing. Yum! |
