To create an authentic Italian sub, start with your favorite crusty bread. Layer the Boar's Head Italian Style Sub slices generously. Complement the meats with provolone cheese, crisp lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, and a drizzle of olive oil and red wine vinegar. You can also use these slices in other preparations. Chop them finely and mix into a pasta salad for added flavor and texture, or use them as a topping for homemade pizzas. They are also excellent when folded into quesadillas or added to a baked ziti.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to single-variety deli meats like plain ham or turkey, this Italian Style Sub offers a complex blend of cured flavors. The combination of spices and curing methods used for each meat within the blend provides a more robust and varied taste profile, characteristic of traditional Italian charcuterie assortments.
