Pastrami sandwich

 A classic pastrami sandwich is always a hit! The smoky, salty pastrami paired with tangy mustard, pickles, and rye bread is a combination that never gets old. Here’s a simple recipe to make your own delicious pastrami sandwich.

Classic Pastrami Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) pastrami, thinly sliced

  • 4 slices rye bread (or your preferred bread)

  • 2-3 tbsp yellow mustard (or Dijon mustard, if preferred)

  • 4-6 slices of dill pickles (or pickle chips)

  • 1/4 cup Swiss cheese (optional, but adds great flavor)

  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting the bread)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Prepare the bread: If you prefer a toasted sandwich, spread butter on one side of each slice of rye bread. Toast the bread in a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. If you like it un-toasted, you can skip this step and go straight to assembling.

  2. Prepare the pastrami: Warm up the pastrami by placing it in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it heated through, but not overcooked.

  3. Assemble the sandwich: On one slice of rye bread, spread a generous layer of mustard. Layer the warm pastrami on top, piling it high! If you're using Swiss cheese, place a slice or two on top of the pastrami.

  4. Add pickles: Layer the dill pickle slices on top of the pastrami (and cheese, if you used it). If you like your sandwich extra tangy, you can also add a bit of the pickle juice to the sandwich.

  5. Top and serve: Place the second slice of rye bread on top, mustard side down, and press gently to compact the sandwich.

  6. Slice and enjoy: Slice your sandwich in half (or quarters if you’re feeling fancy) and serve immediately. You can serve it with some extra pickles or chips on the side!

Optional Variations:

  • For extra richness, you can melt the Swiss cheese on top of the pastrami before adding the pickles.

  • Coleslaw: Some people love to add coleslaw to the pastrami sandwich for extra crunch and creaminess.

  • Sauerkraut: For a more traditional deli-style twist, you can add a bit of sauerkraut for a tangy bite.

This sandwich is simple but packed with flavor.
