Ingredients
For slaw:
- 1 large carrot peeled and grated
- ½ small red beet peeled and grated
- ½ small celery root peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For sandwich:
- 4 lices rye bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 lices mild cheddar cheese
- 1 pound thick sliced deli pastrami
Instructions
For slaw:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add grated carrot, beet, and celery root.
- In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, olive oil, mustard and kosher salt.
- Pour over the vegetables and toss to combine. Taste and add more kosher salt and black pepper if desired.
- Let the mixture sit while you prepare the salad. If you notice the mixture giving off a lot of water (which it might) drain the mixture before placing on the sandwich.
Cup of Yum
For sandwich:
- Preheat your panini press to medium heat.
- Lay out your bread and spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Flip over two slices of the bread and top each turned-over slice with two slices of cheese, half of the pastrami, half of the slaw, and two more slices of cheese.
- Top the sandwich with the remaining slice of bread, butter side out.
- Add the sandwich to the panini press, close the lid, and let the sandwich cook until the outside is crispy and browned and the inside is warmed through and melted - about 10 minutes.
- Note: don’t cook the sandwich on too high of a temperature or the outside will cook too fast and the inside will not get warm.
