I found a wonderful recipe for homemade HERO sandwiches.  This is the perfect sacked lunch recipe because you make it the night before.  Then, you let the sandwich sit in the refrigerator overnight and VOILA – Lunch is ready to go!  Here is my rendition of this HERO sandwich recipe.

Hero Sandwich

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 (1 pound) loaf round, crusty Italian bread
• 1/2 pound sliced deli turkey meat
• 1/2 pound sliced ham
• 1/4 pound sliced salami
• 1/2 pound sliced mozzarella cheese
• 6 leaves lettuce
• 1 tomato, sliced

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar and garlic. Season with parsley, oregano and pepper. Set aside.
2. Cut the off top half of the bread. Spoon 2/3 of the olive oil mixture into the bottom. Layer with turkey, ham, salami, mozzarella, lettuce and tomato (You may not use all of your meat and cheese depending on what you like – eyeball it!). Pour remaining olive oil mixture on top, and replace the top half of bread. Wrap securely in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

Please note: this recipe makes 6 servings
