What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 3 slices salami
  • 1 oz provolone, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sliced pepperoncini, well drained
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp olive oil

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  2. Layer the salami and provolone on one arepa.
  3. Top with the drained pepperoncini, a dusting of oregano and a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Close with the second arepa and press gently.
  5. Wrap in paper; drain the pepperoncini well so the sandwich stays crisp.

About This Recipe

The Italian sub is a deli-counter institution — cured meats, sharp pepperoncini, a hit of oregano. Draining the pickled peppers keeps a packed sandwich from turning soggy by lunchtime.
