Pastrami Sandwich

  • bread: rye (best) or sourdough
  • 120–150 g pastrami
  • 2 slices raclette
  • dijon or whole-grain mustard
  • pickles
  • sauerkraut or thin raw onion (optional)
  • caramelized onions (optional)
  1. Toast the bread lightly in a pan with a little butter.
  2. Warm the pastrami in the same pan so the fat softens.
  3. Put raclette on top of the pastrami and cover the pan for ~30–60 s so it melts.
  4. Spread mustard on the bread.
  5. Add pickles / sauerkraut / onions.
  6. Place the pastrami with melted raclette on top and close the sandwich.

For balance, approx 3 parts pastrami and 1 part raclette. Too much raclette makes it heavy.
