DIRECTIONS
● Make your Hot Giardiniera. To a large bowl, add cauliflower, peppers, carrots, and celery and sprinkle with salt. Cover with cold water and refrigerate between 12-24 hours to brine. Drain and rinse away the brine and set aside. In a separate bowl, add olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and all spices and whisk to combine very well. Pour that over your vegetables and add chopped olives and mix well. Place into jars and be sure to cover your vegetables with the oil mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2 days and up to 1 week.
● Build your sandwich. On the bottom of your sub roll, slater a good amount of vegan mayo. Add your shredded lettuce and drizzle with a little of the oil mixture from your hot giardiniera. Layer with many Smokehouse and Chipotle Plant Provisions slices and top an even layer of vegan cheese slices. Sprinkle on your Hot Giardiniera and enjoy!
