Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 hoagie roll
- 4 slices salami
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: hoagie roll, salami, ham, provolone cheese, roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Take the hoagie roll and slice it open lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket for your fillings.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Mix well until smooth to create the roasted red pepper aioli.
- Season the aioli with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Spread a generous amount of the roasted red pepper aioli on both sides of the hoagie roll.
- Layer the salami slices evenly on one side of the hoagie roll, followed by the ham slices on top of the salami.
- Next, add the provolone cheese slices over the ham, ensuring they cover the meat evenly.
- Top the cheese with the sliced roasted red peppers, distributing them evenly for a burst of flavor in every bite.
- Close the hoagie roll gently, pressing down slightly to secure the fillings inside.
- For added flavor, you can wrap the loaded Italian sub in parchment paper and let it sit for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Slice the hoagie into halves or quarters for easier handling and serve immediately. Enjoy your Loaded Italian Sub with Roasted Red Pepper Aioli!
Tips

- Use fresh, room-temperature ingredients for optimal taste
