Method
- Split the rolls most of the way through without separating the halves.
- Lay in the ham and cheese first, then the tomato, pepper, onion, pickle, and olives.
- Douse generously with olive oil: this is the point of the sandwich, not a garnish.
- Season hard with salt and pepper.
- Wrap in paper and let it sit 10 min so the bread drinks the oil. 10 min
