Tamanawas Falls Stuffed Sandwiches
Few things satisfy the hardy appetite worked up in a good hike like this sandwich!
I recommend you make it the night before so it’s pressed down compact, and the flavors have a chance to blend.
This is the sandwich I originally made for our hike to beautiful Tamanawas Falls.
Tamanawas Falls Stuffed Sandwiches
This is a "choose-your-own-adventure" sandwich! The meats and cheeses can be almost anything, but I go for maximum color. Cut in wedges, it makes a dramatic presentation!
Ingredients
- 1 Loaf Sourdough bread Hollowed-out
- ½ lb Sliced cheeses
- ½ lb Sliced deli meats
- 1 cup Mixed greens
- 2 tbsp Basil fresh
- 1 Onion
- Various Roasted veggies tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplant, etc.
- 2 oz Vinaigrette
Instructions
- Day before serving hollow out the inside of the bread (save for stuffing or croutons)
- Roast veggies for 30-45 minutes at 350 with olive oil salt/pepper (This is especially important for tomatoes to keep them from making the bread soggy.)
- Drizzle the vinaigrette on the inside of the hollowed out bread
- Line the inside top and bottom of bread with sliced cheese (The cheese prevents sogginess.)
- Add the roasted tomatoes next
- Continue layering veggies and lettuce, placing the deli meats in the middle
- Bring the top and bottom together, wrap sandwich in wax paper, then plastic wrap crisscross with rubber bands
- Place in fridge overnight with something heavy on top to press it down
- Next day cut loaf into up to 8 wedges, wrapping each secure with a tooth pick if needed, put in Ziplock bags.
Notes
A few steps taken in assembling ahead of time will minimize ending up with soggy sandwiches, especially since everything is made the day ahead of your party or picnic.
