Categories     Sandwich     Fry     Super Bowl     Vegetarian     Lunch

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!!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh bread, thick-cut bacon, and quality cheese will make a big difference.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Primanti Brothers sandwiches are known for their unique combination of toppings, so feel free to get creative and try something new.
  • Make sure to cook the fries until they are crispy. This will help them hold up well on the sandwich and add a nice texture contrast to the other ingredients.
  • Use a generous amount of coleslaw. The coleslaw adds a nice tang and creaminess to the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately after it is assembled. This will help prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

The Primanti Brothers sandwich is a delicious and unique sandwich that is sure to please everyone. With its combination of meats, cheeses, fries, coleslaw, and tomatoes, it is a hearty and satisfying meal. Whether you are making it for a party or just for yourself, the Primanti Brothers sandwich is sure to be a hit.
