New Orleans Muffuletta

I had wonderful guests this summer from the New Orleans area. As a hostess gift we were rewarded with three potholders reflecting recipes of the New Orleans cuisine and the Mardi Gras colors of gold, purple, and green. The recipe potholders were distributed by Dixieland Music and Gifts. They are so pretty I want to frame them. Here is one of the recipes.
