Muffaletta Fattie

This idea came to me out of the blue one day. Why not stuff an Italian sausage fattie with a muffaletta olive salad?


You have to make the olive salad at least a day before you make the fattie so the flavors get happy. Then, make your standard fattie using Italian sausage and add provolone cheese and the olive salad and smoke as usual. Outstandingly good!


For the olive salad:

Makes: 2 1/2 cups (enough for a fattie with plenty for a sandwich or two leftover)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 1 day
