Pastrami vs. Corned Beef: All The Differences
Pastrami is usually served in sandwiches, piled high between slices of fluffy rye bread or bagels, and spread liberally with yellow mustard and pickles, but it can also be served in countless other ways – for instance, as a croque monsieur, the epitome of grilled cheese sandwiches, here prepared using pastrami and Gruyère cheese.
You can also enjoy this meaty and satisfying sandwich with a great variety of tasty sides for a wonderful and unforgettable meal.
Pastrami sandwiches pair wonderfully with an old-fashioned potato salad, a creamy cabbage coleslaw or freshly-cut and fluffy French fries.
Pickles or pickle spears are a delicious accompaniment to pastrami. Sliced pickles can also be incorporated into the sandwich. Nothing beats a bite of pickle to freshen up a meaty meal. And to truly experience the New York pastrami sandwich, serve up some sauerkraut as well.
And if you want to have a meal that stays true to its roots, have your pastrami sandwich with another Jewish classic: an amazingly delicious matzo ball soup.
