A homemade Italian B.M.T.-style sub with layered deli meats, cheese and salad

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.

  • 2 long white sandwich rolls (about 30 cm each)
  • 8 slices mild salami
  • 8 slices pepperoni
  • 8 slices leg ham
  • 4 slices cheese (about 20 g each)
  • 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1 tomato, thinly sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Italian herb dressing

Method

  1. Split the rolls without cutting all the way through, and warm them for 3 minutes in a low oven if you like a crisp crust.
  2. Layer the meats in the B.M.T. order: salami first, then pepperoni, then ham, overlapping along the roll.
  3. Lay the cheese over the meats and, for the toasted style, grill for 2 minutes until it just melts.
  4. Add lettuce, tomato and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Sauce, close, press gently, and cut on the diagonal.
