Ingredients
FOR THE SLAW, WHISK:
FOR THE AIOLI, COMBINE:
FOR THE PORK, HEAT:
SLICE:
Choose a loaf of bread that’s soft enough to bite into easily, and save the excess you remove — it’s perfect for use as fresh bread crumbs later.
Instructions
For the slaw, whisk together vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add carrots and cabbage; toss to coat. Let slaw stand at least 15 minutes.
For the aioli, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic.
For the pork, heat pork and barbecue sauce in a skillet over medium heat until sauce is thick, about 3 minutes.
Slice French bread in half horizontally. Remove excess bread from inside top half. Spread aioli on cut side of bottom half.
Arrange salami in a single layer over the aioli, then add pork, pickles, and ham. Top ham with slaw and cilantro. Top sandwich with hollowed-out bread half and slice into servings.
Make extra room for this oversized sandwich by removing the inside of the top half of the French loaf.
Use a fork to add the carrot slaw. You’ll leave the vinegary brine in the bowl but keep its fresh tang.
