Pork & Truffled Burrata Muffuletta

This casual Village Stroll eatery generally hits higher than most (especially with its wood-fired pizzas), but their epic muffuletta is a stunning tower of pork to behold. Executive Chef James Pare starts with homemade focaccia, baked fresh every morning, sprinkled with sea salt and splashed with rosemary oil. In between a crunchy slather of pickled salsa giardiniera and oozy, gooey burrata cheese mixed with real black truffle (not the noxious oil), he piles a huge stack of pistachio mortadella, Genoa salami, Serrano ham and good old country ham. A few slices of piquillo peppers lend a sweet counterpoint. Add a touch of heat from the panini grill and you’ve hit the peak of (not-so) simple sandwich ecstasy.
