Equipment

  • Dry Measuring Cups And Spoons
  • Cheese Grater
  • Zester
  • Cuisinart 14-cup Food Processor
  • Silicone Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup whole raw almonds
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large loaf ciabatta bread

    sliced in half horizontally

  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced hot coppa

    or other slicy salami

  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced finocchiona (fennel-flavored salami)

    or other mild salami

  • 12 ounces lightly salted fresh mozzarella

    cheese, sliced or torn

  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1 small fennel bulbs

    stalks removed, thinly sliced

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

    for the salad

Instructions
 

  • Make the Pesto: Combine the almonds and garlic in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse to chop coarsely. Add the basil, lemon zest, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and pulse to combine. Add the 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and puree to a smooth paste. 
  • Make The Sandwich: Pull out some of the inner bread from the halved loaf, leaving a slightly hollowed shell of crust (see Cook's Note). Spread the pesto evenly over the interior of both sides. Layer the coppa, finocchiona, and mozzarella onto the bottom half. 
    In a small bowl, toss together the arugula, fennel, lemon juice, and olive oil; arrange the mixture on top of the meat and cheese. Top with the remaining bread half, press the sandwich together and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour or up to overnight before slicing and serving.
