REUBEN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a large pan with the pickling seasoning and enough water to fill the pan halfway. Cover and cook for 3 hours. Let cool partially, and then refrigerate to cool completely (for at least 3 hours total if you cut the brisket into pieces, or overnight if cooling it whole).
• Dice the brisket and puree in a food processor until a paste forms (some chunks are fine). Add the sauerkraut, cream cheese and Swiss cheese and mix well. Shape the mixture into little spheres the size of golf balls; set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
• In three separate containers put the flour, buttermilk and panko breadcrumbs mixed with fresh parsley. Take a sphere and coat in the flour, dredge in the buttermilk and then coat in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining spheres. Fry in batches--making sure all the fritters are submerged--until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Serve the fritters with the Whole-Grain Honey Mustard Horseradish Dipping Sauce on the side.
• Whole-Grain Honey Mustard Horseradish Dipping Sauce:
• cups mayonnaise
• pound honey
• ounces Dijon mustard
• ounces horseradish (fresh if possible)
• ounces whole-grain mustard with stout
• ounces rice vinegar
• 2 ounces dry mustard
• tablespoon granulated garlic
• Mix together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, horseradish, whole-grain mustard, rice vinegar, dry mustard and granulated garlic in a large bowl.
