new orleans style muffuletta

Muffuletta originated in New Orleans, where it’s used as a sandwich filling. Bursting with flavor, it makes an interesting addition to soups, tomato sauce, pizza and pasta and it’s great all on its own. It’s a staple in my fridge; I love to serve it on the original raincoast crisps® or baguette slices, either straight up or partnered with soft goat cheese.
