Green Meal: Corned Beef Sandwich

corned beef sandwich recipe

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It is our first official holiday together. I am foregoing a “green” post to bring you my modern twist on traditional St. Paddy’s Day fare.

With the first day of spring ever so near I am reluctant to launch into a steamy hot pot of corned beef and cabbage. I have opted for a quicker, cooler version of the same flavors with a corned beef and slaw sandwich. To get more of the tradition in, I added extra carrots and substituted waffle fries for potatoes.

I assembled the sandwich on a toasted ciabatta roll. It includes corned beef, Swiss cheese, red onion, and fresh-made slaw. Horseradish in the slaw gives it a little bite. It pairs quite nicely with another Irish favorite – Guinness beer. You’ll find the recipe for the slaw just ahead.
