            6 thin slices capicola (seasoned smoked ham) or other cooked ham
            4 thin slices provolone
            3 bottled hot cherry peppers or pepperincini, to taste, sliced

            Halve the rolls horizontally, leaving on edge cut to form a hinge. 
            Moisten the cut side of the rolls with vanaigrette, and on the 
            bottom halves of the rolls layer the salami, the prosciutto, 
            mortadella, capicola and then the provolone, peppers, lettuce and 
            onions. In a small bowl whisk red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, oil 
            and stir in fresh herbs, salt and pepper to taste, drizzle the 
            dressing over the fillings, and cover the fillings with the top 
            halves of the rolls. Cut each sandwich in half.
