Good evening fellow Steemians!
Today's post is slightly different as I'm also using it as my official entry into the Steemit Sandwich Contest. I stumbled across this randomly in the Food section and thought it was kind of cool. I love food, I love competition = win, win?!
I decided to make a Mediterranean Cob Loaf. I found out it's also called a 'muffaletta' in America - anyone confirm this is true? It's something I have made before when we've gone on picnics and wanted to eat a sandwich but something a bit more exciting than chicken or ham and cheese (both are great, but sometimes you just want that something special).
The cob loaf is full to the brim of anything you want but I did one that's Mediterranean in style so has some cured meats, cheese and grilled vegetables.
In my usual style though I will post a step-by-step pictorial on how I put together today's sandwich...here we go!
1. Ingredients required
- Cob loaf (this is a large round loaf) - white is generally used but I chose a potato/rosemary sourdough for something different ;)
- 2x red capsicums and 2x yellow capsicums
- 2x zucchinis
- 1x eggplant
- 200g cured meat (I used double smoked leg ham and hot sopressa salami)
- 200g cheese (I used a small wheel of Camembert from the brand Prairie Normande)
- butter lettuce
- pesto (or whatever your favourite spread/dip is)
- olive oil and salt & pepper
2. Slice up the vegetables ready to grill
3. I grilled these on the stovetop on a griddle pan I have
4. Hollow out the bread - I used a potato and rosemary sourdough but most people just use a plain white bread cob loaf.
5. Spread pesto around and up the walls of the cob loaf.
6. Ready to assemble!
7. Start layering (make sure you don't put vegetables or salad first as it will make the bread soggy!)
8. Wrap in cling film and place a heavy plate on top and pop into the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavours develop.
9. Next morning...
10. Cut and serve!
Close up of the fillings...

Thanks @gringalicious - means a lot coming from someone who always puts out quality posts. It was tasty for sure, I think that taking the time to select or make high quality ingredients (e.g. grilling the vegetables) and then letting the flavours develop overnight makes the difference.
You're most welcome, thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Yes - It's quite popular here in North America and we see tons of photo of this sandwich on Instagram. I tried it at a restaurant near my work, in Toronto and it was sooo good!

Ohh, awesome! I honestly didn't even know it was a thing until I googled it and the word 'muffaletta' came up haha. Thanks for commenting!
Out of curiosity, what was in the one you bought??

It was at an Italian sandwich shop, with an Italian name but I cannot remember. The shop makes food from Sicily. We have lots of Italian immigrants in Toronto who brought great food to share with us here in this city !!

Ahhh yes that makes sense, I believe that this was introduced by the Italians so makes sense!

Thank you @kylo !! I agree it is a little more time consuming than a typical sandwich but it's worth it - I think the best part was actually unwrapping it and slicing it in half the next day, it's a cool feeling to open it up and see all the layers haha. You can tell I'm obsessed with food when that makes me happy!
Thanks for your support I really appreciate it. Stay tuned for more :D and yes you should enter the contest too!

Thank you! That's a great idea actually, it may seem like a bit of effort in the beginning but it makes 8 (or more) quite generous portions, perfect for a party!
