Muffulettas are a New Orleans specialty sandwich, packed with sliced cheeses, hard meats and olive salad. I thought it would be fun to do my Low Country spin on this favorite sandwich of mine, replacing the olive salad with my chow chow and pimientos and adding some sautéed smoked sausage and onions to the mix. The great thing about this sandwich? The longer it sets, the better it gets!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds frozen bread dough, thawed
- Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces smoked sausage, such as Roger Wood, thinly sliced
- Spicy mustard, for serving
- Two 4-ounce jars sliced pimientos, drained
- 1 cup chow chow
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced salami
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced country ham
- 1/3 pound mozzarella slices
- 1/3 pound provolone slices
- 1/3 pound Cheddar slices
Instructions
- Knead the dough to form a uniform ball. Place in a lightly greased Dutch oven. Cover and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush the top of the bread with the egg and sprinkle with the everything bagel seasoning. Bake the bread, uncovered, until golden brown and cooked through, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the Dutch oven and let cool completely.
- Heat the oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from the skillet.
- Cut the bread in half crosswise. To assemble the sandwich, spread the spicy mustard, pimientos and chow chow on the cut sides of the bread halves. Top the bottom half with half of the sausage and onions, half of the sliced meats and half of the cheese slices. Repeat the layers. Top with the bread top. Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap until ready to serve. (The sandwich is best after it’s rested for about an hour.)

Reviews
Her Chow Chow recipe is listed under Southern Chow Chow
I so enjoy watching Kardea make her dishes. Sadly, someone has felt the need to add in canned electronic music which is so amazing. I made the fried pickles and they were delicious. I like the idea of just using frozen dough to save time.
Where’s the chow chow recipe?
