lamb pastrami sandwich

smoked lamb pastrami sandwich with kimchi, mayo, Sriracha, Jarlsberg cheese and pickles on sourdough rye

Always looking to change things up this sandwich puts a twist on the traditional Reuben by using lamb pastrami and substituting sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and a Russian style sauce for kimchi mayo, Jarlsberg and Sriracha. This time we used a white miso and red pepper kimchi but I’d imagine most varieties would work well.

As with all sandwiches and burgers there’s room to experiment with endless combinations. They’re very much a blank canvas to play with so feel free to get funky and make some changes of your own.

ingredients

  • lamb pastrami
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce (we use Sriracha)
  • Jarlsberg cheese
  • pickle slices
  • sourdough rye

directions

Nice and simple here… mix together the kimchi mayo and hot sauce. This will be enough for at least 2 sandwiches. Toast the bread with the cheese and pastrami (if cold) then top with the pickles and kimchi mayo mix and you’re ready for eating.
