There are several ingredients *missing* from a traditional NOLA muff'...you need the pickled veggies-Gardiniera(cauliflower, carrots, celery,pepperoncini). If you can't find, or don't have on hand...finely slice(chop) those veggies and pickle in the red wine vinegar for a few days--or if time is a factor, add more vinegar to the basic recipe, and let the whole kaboodle marinate for a day or so longer than stated. I always put fresh oven roasted red peppers in mine -up to 1/2 cup for this batch amount. A little fresh basil in the mix, or on the sandwich ..that is it.

AND that is the end of this. If the phone doesn't ring? It's me. If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer. I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story. Sigh..
