- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

DIRECTIONS:
- Combine the kalamata olives, green olives, basil, garlic and oil in a food processor or blender and process until coarsely chopped.
- Cut the top from the bread loaf and hollow out the center so that about 1/2 inch of crust remains. Spread olive mixture evenly over the inside of the loaf. Layer the salami, cheese, tomatoes and onion until the loaf is full.
- Replace top of bread, lightly press down and wrap tightly in plastic wrapping. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 1 day. Slice crosswise in about 1 1/2 inch pieces, and serve.
