PRIMANTI BROTHERS SANDWICH PITTSBURGH ORIGINAL!!!



Primanti Brothers Sandwich Pittsburgh original!!! image

The Primanti Brothers opened their restaurant in Pittsburgh in the 1920s. Their idea was to create an eating place that was simple but offered tasty food. It is no wonder that the Primanti Sandwich was the result -- it's a whole meal in each bite. Ham, french fries, tomato, provolone cheese, and coleslaw are stuffed between two slices of Italian bread and served on wax paper. You can't get it any simpler than that.

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

Sweet and Sour Slaw
½ green/white cabbage, finely shredded (or a large bag of pre-shaved cabbage)
¼ cup vinegar (I like to use red wine vinegar with garlic, but white wine vinegar will do.)
2 tablespoons of light cooking oil (Avoid olive oil, as it has too strong a taste.)
2 tablespoons of sugar
Not less than 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper
Several good shakes of hot pepper sauce (Franks Red Hot tops my list.)
Kosher salt to taste
Fresh Italian or other chewy bread cut in thick slices
Veggie Deli meats
Provolone cheese
French fries (I have used waffle fries, because they don't fall off the pile.)
Sweet and sour slaw
Fresh tomatoes

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a large container, making sure that the pepper is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving. Prior to serving, give the container a good shake. Sear a large portion of veggie deli meat on a hot griddle or in a frying pan. Once the meat is hot and has been flipped over at least once, cover it with a thick slice of provolone. Keep heating it until the cheese melts. Remove meat from the pan and place on a slice of bread. Top it off with a handful of hot fries, coleslaw, and a slice of tomato. Hold it all together with a second slice of bread. Enjoy!!
