1 Prepare the ingredients & marinate the kale

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Roughly chop the capers. Peel 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop 1 clove. Using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate the remaining clove into a paste. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then roughly chop the leaves. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped capers, vinegar, half the parmesan, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and as much of the garlic paste as you’d like. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped kale; using your hands, massage the kale until slightly softened. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients & make the sauce

Meanwhile, halve the rolls. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the olives and peppers; combine in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the tomato sauce, oregano, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Toast the rolls
