Great recipe! Everyone loved it. It tasted better than the muffuletta I had in New Orleans. I served it with Boudreaux's Zydeco Stomp Gumbo in a cup on the side, fresh fruit, and cole slaw.

This really does make HUGE sandwiches! I love the olive salad, but there was just too much meat for us, no-one could manage more than the smallest slice!

Yum. Very different, but enjoyed by all. Not an everyday thing, tho'. Will make it as a treat.

This is a good sandwich, but it did not taste the same as the Muffuletta I got in New Orleans. Also I prefer mine toasted and add a tiny amount of a hearty mustard.

The best Muffuletta since Cafe Brazil's version in Dallas, TX. So filling and mouthwatering! If you can deal with the pungent smell and taste of olives, this is a real treat! For meatlovers, Italian food lovers and greek food lovers... this is the best!

I made this for my Mom's Birthday and everyone LOVED it! Even my Dad, who grew up in New Orleans thought it tasted like the "real thing". Will definitely be making this again.

This was excellent! I made for the gals at work on Fat Tuesday! I did subsitute black olives for the klamatas so my hubby would try it. I will keep this recipe and make it again and again!!!! The olive salad adds amazing texture and tastes!

This was the best Muffuletta recipe I've tried Boo! I had to leave out the carrots due to allergies but I did add some marinated artichokes. Super Duper and thanks!

This was fantastic! It was the most popular thing at our Super Bowl party. Even people who aren't crazy about olives loved it. As with another reviewer, I think using a food processor to chop all this would really cut down on time/work involved. Worth the effort, though!

Absolutely Outstanding!!!! Sandwich will hold in fridge tightly wrapped in plastic for up to 4 days. I used my mini processor for the olives & veggies to speed things up - pulse function made things perfect. (Small capers went in whole.) Thanks for this recipe!!!

This is the best muffuletta I've ever had, by far. I used this recipe (using chopped artichoke hearts instead of the cauliflower I couldn't find) for a family picnic and it was the hit of the party. We've had muffuletta in restaurants, but the olive salad always seems skunky compared to this awesome fresh version. It's easy to make, and carries and looks as great as it takes. From now on I'm sure this olive salad will always be in my fridge. Its really good on pita wedges too!!

Needed a special sandwich to take for a picnic supper, and this was awesome! I too made the olive salad (double the recipe) a night before as others have suggested. Only changes I made were to eliminate capers (don't care for them) and used red onion instead of the cocktail onions. Thank you Boo!

A great recipe to try once...It is a very good recipe but a lot of work. We live in the Midwest so it was quite a chore to find the right ingredients (i.e. Italian bread, cauliflower, molenta). I guess maybe we were expecting something more spectacular after all the work and wait. Maybe we are just spoiled and/or lazy but our favorite deli serves a tremendous muffuletta that we prefer to this version. At $6.00 for a sandwich that feeds 2+ people, the deli is not only a whole lot easier, but far less expensive.

As a frequent traveler to NOLA, the trip wouldn't be complete without a muffuletta from Central Grocery. WOW. What a great clone. This is to be a staple in my fridge from now on. Thanks for the savings on airfare :)

This is the real thing! This recipe is the closest I've found to what a real N'awlins Muffuletta should taste like. It's a staple at our Mardi Gras party every year and everyone always raves. We have some serious muffuletta conuseurs and they just love this recipe. I also make a the olive salad a few days early for the flavors to develop.

Not being American I stumbled randomly onto muffuletta concept. Since then I tried a bunch of different muffuletta recipes, but this one is amazing. I followed it to the letter, and the result was amazing.....Extremely rich yet refreshing taste. My husband, who is a very choosy eater loved it and everyone else who tried was impressed. I don't know what the original tastes like, but would recomend this recipe to anyone. Oh, and not to forget, it is really important to let the olive mixture stand at least overnight for the flavors to develop (tasting it straight away takes away at least half of its charm).

WOWIE! Although I've never been to New Orleans, nor do I know anything about Central Grocery, I can only imagine what gourmet delights lay in store. This sandwich was outstanding! I allowed the olive salad to sit for two days, then prepared the sandwiches. Boo, you've outdone yourself on this recipe.This olive salad is too good to be kept a secret. Many folks in Seattle will be happy to get jars of this from me. Then you'll have many many fans of your wonderful Muffeletta! Thanks so much.
