Mile-High Muffuletta-Style Sandwich

This sandwich has a lively tart cherry relish instead of the traditional olive relish found in muffuletta sandwiches. The cherry flavor is a nice complement to the meat.

Ingredients

2  tablespoons cooking oil
1-1/2  cups dried tart red cherries
3/4  cup chopped red onion
3/4  cup red wine vinegar
5  cups finely shredded savoy, napa, or green cabbage
1/2  to 3/4 cup light mayonnaise dressing
1  12-inch loaf Italian flatbread (focaccia)
1  pound thinly sliced, cooked, smoked ham, turkey, and/or turkey ham


Directions

1. In a medium skillet heat oil; cook cherries and onion in hot oil for 5 minutes until just softened, stirring often. Stir in vinegar; set mixture aside. In a medium bowl combine shredded cabbage and mayonnaise dressing; cover and set aside.
 
2. Using a long, serrated knife, carefully split flatbread horizontally. Spoon cherry relish on bottom slice of bread. Layer meat on top of relish. Spoon cabbage mixture on top of meat. Cover with top half of bread. Cut into wedges before serving. Makes 8 main-dish servings.
