Muffuletta
 |
Chef Lenny specializes in muffuletta sandwiches, a cajun favorite originating in New Orleans. The bread is a large, round, and somewhat flat loaf, around 10 inches (25 cm) across. It has a sturdy texture, and is described as being somewhat similar to focaccia. |
|
The muffuletta sandwich originated in1906 at Central Grocery in New Orleans, which was operated by Salvatore Lupo, a Sicilian immigrant. The sandwich is popular with city natives and visitors, and has been described as "one of the great sandwiches of the world." |

A typical Sicilian muffuletta consists of one muffuletta loaf, split horizontally. The loaf is then covered with a marinated olive salad, then layers of capicola, salami, mortadella, emmantaler, and provolone. The sandwich is sometimes heated through to soften the provolone.
The olive salad is considered the heart of the sandwich, and consists primarily of olives, along with celery, cauliflower, and carrot. The ingredients are combined, seasonings are added, covered in olive oil and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours.
The muffuletta is the signature sandwich at Chef Lenny's Kitchen. Stop in to our carryout location or call now to order one or a tray today! 609-561-5944.
