Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the kale chips
Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Strip the kale leaves from the stems; tear or cut the leaves into 2-inch pieces.
On a sheet pan [2 sheet pans], drizzle the kale with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season lightly with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the paprika, and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and bake, turning halfway through, until the kale chips are crisp around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the olive tapenade.
2
Make the olive tapenade
- Finely chop the olives, checking for any pits.
In a small bowl, stir together the olives and Italian vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Toast the ciabatta; cook the mushrooms
- Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally; drizzle or brush the cut sides with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season with salt.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms.
Heat a dry large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Place the ciabatta, cut sides down, and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
In the same pan, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and just starting to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Assemble the muffuletta sandwiches
Place the ciabatta bottoms, cut sides up, on a work surface and slather with as much olive tapenade as you like. Top each with the mushrooms and spinach. Spread the cut sides of the ciabatta tops with the red pepper–cashew crema. Close with the ciabatta tops. Cut the sandwiches in half.
Serve
Transfer the muffuletta sandwiches and kale chips to individual plates and serve any remaining tapenade on the side.
