Homemade Cold-Cut Po'boy Recipe

[Saviolo]

Super simple recipe this week. This is a bit of nostalgia for my hubby (Chef Caleb) because he used to get these cold cut deli po'boy sandwiches at a place near where he grew up in Houston. The magic happens somewhere between the fluffy roll, and the interaction between the pimentos and the mayonnaise. Super delicious and super easy, this is a great sandwich to pack in a backpack for a hike or a picnic.

You can easily change up the sandwich filling. Traditionally it is some kind of ham, some kind of salami (or two kinds), and a mild cheese. We used one spicy and one mild salami, but you could replace the ham with prosciutto, or even deli-sliced roast beef, and the provolone with havarti or gouda. This comes closest to the sandwich that hubby remembered, but make it your own!

1. sounds good but I'm not sure what makes it a po boy

looks like any Italian sub to me. Po boys I used to get in New Orleans had shrimp or fried oysters, lettuce , tomatoes, some remoulade.

I am not familiar with the Texas style of poboys however.

2. Not sure!

This was the style of cold-cut po'boy that hubby would get in Houston. They also had shrimp ones, and we're going to do a video about that in a couple of weeks. Some "salad shrimp" with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce on a toasted roll in this case. We've already done a video on fried oysters, but they'd also make a stunning po'boy!
