Vegetarian Muffuletta

The legendary muffuletta served at Central Grocery is one of my favorite reasons to visit New Orleans. The market is an institution, and the sandwich is always consistent—my ultimate judgment of a great food establishment. The olive salad and layers of cured meats marry perfectly with the crusty Italian bread. It’s just the thing to line the stomach before or after several Sazeracs. I developed this vegetarian version for a catering client and realized it was a keeper.
