If you're looking for the perfect picnic lunch, or make ahead dinner for a rushed night, this is it! It's really easy, and it tastes delicious! You can pretty much customize to your hearts content too!
Here's what I used:
1 ciabatta loaf
Roasted red pepper hummus (homemade)
Deli meats: ham, salami, and turkey
Sliced roasted bell peppers
Sliced pepperoncinis
Provolone cheese
Sliced tomato
Basically you will start with slicing your Ciabata loaf lengthwise, and spread a healthy layer of hummus on. You can also subsitute this for pesto if you please. Then on one side, layer the pepperoncinis and red peppers fairly thick, or as many as you like. (I love pepperoncinis so I layed those on pretty thick). Then you can just layer on your cheese and deli meat in whatever configuration you like. You can see my layers in the photos below. After you have added all the insides, put the top of the loaf on, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Then place it in the refrigerator overnight with a weight on it. ( some people use bricks or skillets, I used a big Pyrex baking pan) The following day, unwrap and slice into triangular pieces, and enjoy!
