Ingredients
- 1 Co-op crusty white cob
- 50g Co-op Irresistible pesto alla genovese
- 150g pack Co-op mixed olive trio, drained
- 175g pack Co-op sunsoaked tomatoes, drained
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
- A few fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
- 200g pack Co-op wafer thin honey roast ham
- 100g pack Co-op salami Milano
- 150g pack Co-op German smoked cheese slices, rind removed
- 280g jar Co-op chargrilled peppers, drained and roughly chopped
- Half 70g bag Co-op rocket, roughly chopped
Method
- Using a serrated knife, cut the top off the bread
- With clean hands, scoop out the inside, leaving a 1-2cm border
- Whizz this into breadcrumbs and freeze to use another time
- Spread the pesto all over the inside of the loaf, including the lid
- Roughly chop the olives and tomatoes, add the chilli and basil, if using, then spread half this mixture on the base of the loaf
- Next, layer on half of the ham, followed by half each of the salami and cheese
- Add the chargrilled peppers and rocket, then top with the remaining ham, salami and cheese
- Finish off with the rest of the olive and tomato mixture, then replace the lid, pressing down firmly
- Wrap tightly in cling film and put in the fridge, weighted down with a plate topped with tins or a heavy pan
- Leave for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible
- When you’re ready to serve, unwrap and cut into wedges
