Method

How to make Hero sandwich

1) In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, rosemary, pepper, and olive oil to make a dressing. In a another small bowl toss the peppers with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Toss the lettuce with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and season with salt and pepper to taste.

2) Set the bread, cut side up on a cutting board and start building the sandwich. Drizzle dressing on the cut halves of the bread and layer the meat and cheese, on top, folding the slices if necessary so they fit on the bread. Top with the peppers, tomato, and lettuce. Drizzle with any remaining dressing and top with the bread. Press down slightly and cut the sandwiches into 3 to 4 pieces each. Serve immediately
