Ingredients:

Serving

10 whole grain sandwich rolls, split or 2 loaves focaccia bread, cut into 5ths
1 (6 oz) package salami
1 (6 oz) package smoked ham
2 red bell peppers , cut into strips
1 onion, sliced very thin
2 -3 small tomatoes, sliced thin (optional)
1 cup pitted black olives, halved
1 (8 oz) jar marinated artichoke hearts
1/2 cup italian dressing

Directions:

Roast red peppers and tomatoes at 400°F for 20 minutes.
Spread or drizzle Italian dressing directly on inside of sandwich rolls or bread slices. Divide filling ingredients between sandwiches. Layer, starting with onions and keeping both meat and tomatoes near the center (The roasted tomatoes can make the bread soggy if they are directly next to it. Onions and artichoke hearts make good top and bottom layers).
Wrap assembled sandwiches in paper towels. Press under books or other heavy objects for thirty minutes. (To speed this part up, stand on the books for a minute).
Remove (now undoubtedly soaked) paper towels; wrap in fresh paper towels (not too thickly; about one sheet per sandwich) and plastic or waxed paper for portability.
Refrigerate until needed.
You could omit the lunch meats for a delicious vegan sandwich, too.
