Mini Muffaletta (sliders)
For those who don't know, "...The muffuletta is both a type of round Sicilian sesame bread and a popular sandwich originating among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana using the same bread..." - Wikipedia.
It generally contains 3 types of Italian sandwich meat (usually salami, mortadella, capicola), 2 types of cheese (mozzarella and provolone), and always has a delicious olive and pickled veggie tapenade adorning the top and bottom.

Living near Kansas City, MO we make it a point to visit the River Front Market several times a year to plan a few meals around fresh and unique buys we find there. On our most recent trip I made a point to buy everything I needed for a Muffaletta (except the bread) from the Italian grocer there. Sadly, nowhere around KC have I been able to find a good loaf of Muffaletta bread, and I just don't have the time to make it from scratch... SOOOO I decided to just modify a recipe I found online and make some Muffaletta inspired sliders instead. All the flavor in personal sized bites.

- 1
Place pickled veggies in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to chop. Add all other tapenade ingredients. Pulse several times until you have a finely minced mixture.
- 2
Leave buns/rolls attached to each other. Cut in half horizontally (to make a bottom and top).
- 3
Spread half the tapenade on the cut side of the bottoms, spread the other half on the tops.
- 4
On bottoms layer salami, provolone, mortadella, mozzarella, capicola in that order. Cover with the tops.
- 5
Wrap assembled sliders in plastic wrap. Press down gently and evenly to squish everything together. Refrigerate 1-2 hrs for flavors to marinate.
- 6
When ready to serve remove from fridge, unwrap, cut apart. Enjoy!
- 7
Note 1: If you don't have a food processor you can finely mince the olives, veggies, and peppers by hand then mix with the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
- 8
Note 2: You really do want pretty hearty rolls/buns, and do NOT want to leave it refrigerated too long, or you will end up with soggy sliders.
