Italian-American classic · New Orleans
Muffuletta
Quick answer
The muffuletta is a New Orleans sandwich on a round sesame loaf with Italian cold cuts, provolone and olive salad.
It was created by Sicilian grocers in the French Quarter.
It tastes better after resting for an hour so the olive oil soaks in.

Quick answer
How do you make Italian sausage lower in sodium?
Grind your own and use 1 teaspoon of salt per pound instead of the commercial 2 — that takes a link from roughly 600 mg of sodium to about 300 mg. Replace the missing punch with extra fennel, garlic, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon at the table.
