Ingredients

Olive Salad

  • 1/4 cup chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
  • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata or ripe olives
  • 1/4 cup sliced hot pickled okra (from 16-oz jar)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, crumbled
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped

Sandwiches

  • 1 can (15 to 16 oz) black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper sauce
  • 4 large kaiser rolls, split
  • 4 slices (1 oz each) provolone cheese
  • 4 slices tomato

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, mix salad ingredients. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
  • 2
    In blender or food processor, place peas, water and pepper sauce. Cover; blend or process until smooth.
  • 3
    Cut 1/2-inch slice from top of each roll; set aside. Remove soft bread from inside of each roll to within 1/2 inch of edge; reserve bread trimmings for another use.
  • 4
    Spread about 1/4 cup pea mixture in each roll. Top pea mixture in each with cheese slice, tomato slice and scant 2 tablespoons salad. Spoon remaining pea mixture and salad evenly into each. Cover with tops of rolls.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    In 1906, the Central Grocery in New Orleans created the muffuletta, a wonderful specialty sandwich. It combines meats and cheeses, but it's the olive salad that makes it unique. Our vegetarian version keeps the olive salad but replaces the meat with a spicy, mashed black-eyed pea mixture.
