How to make a salami sandwich

Salami sandwiches are some of the most delicious out there. Layering the salty salami with Italian flavors will be a guaranteed hit. I used jarred Caponata (an Italian dish cooked with eggplant/aubergine and tomatoes) that is often served as an antipasto and added a generous layer to a big loaf of olive bread. The saucy Caponata soaks into the bread and adds a ton of flavor. Add fresh rocket/arugula, sliced tomatoes (remember to season the tomatoes), cheese of your choice and then go to town with the salami. More is more here. Finish the sandwich with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil then slice and serve.
