Description

This simple muffuletta spread is reminiscent of a classic muffuletta sandwich from New Orleans, full of cured meat, olives, and capers.

• 1 cup chopped pimento-stuffed, Spanish-style green olives

• 3/4 cup chopped black olives, drained

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• 3 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped

• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 1 shallot, peeled and chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

• salt and ground black pepper to taste

• 1/4 pound Genoa salami, thinly sliced

• 1/4 pound sliced deli ham

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

• 36 buttery round crackers

1 Stir together green and black olives, olive oil, capers, red wine vinegar, shallot, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

2 Cut salami and deli ham so they fit onto crackers.

3 Spread cream cheese on crackers; top each cracker with a piece of salami, a piece of ham, and a spoonful of olive salad.
