Ingredients

For The Coleslaw

6 cups shredded green cabbage
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp ground sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp celery seed
1 tbsp whole grain mustard
2 tbsp canola oil

For The Sandwich

2 slices thick cut Italian bread
thinly sliced pastrami warmed in a skillet
2 slices provolone cheese
shoestring style french fries cooked according to package directions
coleslaw
2 slices tomato

Instructions

To Make The Slaw

Add the shredded cabbage to a medium sized mixing bowl.
Add all of the remaining coleslaw ingredients to a small mason jar. Close the lid, and shake until the ingredients are all evenly combined.
Pour the dressing out over the coleslaw, and then gently toss until everything's nicely coated.
Cover and refrigerate the coleslaw for 2 hours, or up to overnight. Toss again just before serving.

To Assemble The Sandwich

Start building your Primanti Bro's style sandwich by adding one of the slices of bread to a plate.
To that layer warm pastrami, provolone cheese, french fries, coleslaw, and tomato.
Add the other slice of bread to close the sandwich, and using a sharp knife (carefully) cut the sandwich in half.
Serve with extra fries on the side & enjoy!

Notes

Just like the restaraunt, you can use either pastrami or capicola ham in this recipe- or even a combination of both!
