ITALIAN SUB

Steps:

• Begin by preparing the red wine vinaigrette: add all of the ingredients up to and including the black pepper into the bowl of a food processor, and process for about 20-30 seconds until well blended; with the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until everything is well emulsified and blended.
• Keep vinaigrette in a covered container, and store any unused portion in fridge for up to a couple of weeks.
• To assemble the subs: split the sub rolls lengthwise in half, and scoop some of the bread out of each half; drizzle a bit of the red wine vinaigrette onto both top and bottom halves.
• On the bottom half, layer a couple of slices of each of the meats, followed by a couple of slices of provolone; do another layer of the meats follow by the mozzarella.
• Add some of the thinly sliced veggies, and drizzle a little more of the vinaigrette over those; add a little extra sprinkle of salt and pepper before covering the sandwich with the top half of the roll.
