The muffaletta sandwich is a must-have New Orleans classic during Mardi Gras. This sandwich takes your taste buds straight to Louisiana for the ultimate flavor powerhouse that’s sure to be a hit at your next party. Easy to make, this popular deli item is filled with hearty layers of meat — including ham, mortadella and salami — sliced Provolone cheese, roasted red peppers marinated in Lawry’s® Herb & Garlic With Lemon Marinade and an irresistible pimento-stuffed olive spread. What makes this muffaletta sandwich so special is the large (at least 8-inch) round bread that provides the perfect base. Rumor has it that this NOLA staple was invented by Italian immigrants in the early 1900s — making this antipasto a New Orleans essential for more than 100 years. Make it a meal and serve in wedges along with crispy Fried Green Tomatoes, Easy Creole Shrimp Cakes, Easy Jambalaya and Braised Greens with Bacon
