We might get some odd looks for making this sandwich. But if you are part of the work from home bunch and miss ripping into a Bay Cities Godmother you might actually thank us. First things first, embrace the mise en place. There are a few ways to ruin a good lunch, but one of them is getting the handles of the refrigerator all jammed up with sandwich hands rushing to get a condiment or the provolone. Get the goods you need out and ready before we start, okay? 

Now comes law of the instrument. When the only tool you have is a hammer you treat everything as if it were a nail. And to be fair that is the general idea of our blog - our hammer being a sourdough loaf. Sesame hoagie, demi-baguette please forgive us. However, we will honor the sesames whenever possible. 

     Serves 1 (maybe 2)

     Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 100g giardiniera, chopped
• Salt
• 75g thinly sliced white onion
• 60g thinly sliced roasted jalapeño chile
• 160g shredded iceberg lettuce
• 4 sliced sourdough
• 100g provolone cheese
• 200g mortadella, thinly sliced
• 200g capicola, thinly sliced
• 100g tomato, thinly sliced
• Salt
• Pepper
• Kewpie mayonnaise (Optional) 
• Cento hot pepper spread (Optional)

In a bowl combine the garlic powder, dried oregano, white vinegar, olive oil, giardiniera, salt, white onion, and jalapeño. Mix and let the ingredients hang together. Taste and salt. *have a zoom*

Incorporate iceberg lettuce. *during or after zoom*

Layout parchment paper and place sourdough in the center. If you are using Kewpie and pepper spread add it to each slice of bread. On the bottom slice of bread add the provolone and a layer of mortadella, and capicola. If you managed some restraint, add another layer of each. Place the tomatoes on top and salt and pepper. Add the dressed iceberg on top of the tomato, wrap in the parchment and cut in half.

Share half with your roommate, or go HAM on the whole thing.
