    4 cloves garlic
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 TBL cracked black pepper
    1/2 cup celery, chopped
    2 TBL capers
    1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
    2 TBL red wine vinegar
    1 TSP salt

    HERBED CREAM CHEESE
    1 pound cream cheese
    1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
    1/2 cup yellow onion, sliced thin
    1 TSP salt 1 TBL cracked black pepper

    Recipe



    First, prepare the olive salad, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and chop until everything is chopped fine, but not a paste. Then prepare the herbed cream cheese by sauteeing the sliced yellow onion until well browned or caramelized, then chop very fine. Combine the remaining ingredients with the onion in a mixing bowl and mix well; season with salt to taste.

    Prepare the sourdough bread by slicing the top 1/4 off of the bread to form a top for the sandwich. remove all the bread from the inside of the bottom part to form a large bread bowl, leaving the top intact. Begin by coating the inside of the bottom bowl with herb cream cheese mixture and spread well, this will form an inner barrier to the bread. Then proceed by layering the ham, Gouda cheese, turkey, Provolone, corned beef, Swiss, salami, olive spread, roasted bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes; repeat until bowl is full. Coat inner top with cream cheese mix and place on filled bowl. Place filled bowl on a plate and place another plate upside down top and press together. Wrap plates with plastic wrap to hold together, or place a weight on top of the plate to press together. Then refrigerate overnight, keeping pressure on the plates at all time, this compacts the sandwich. The next day, remove the plates and slice the sandwich into pie wedges and serve with salad or chips.
