Last month on my visit to my Aunt's in Pittsburgh, I visited for the first time the original Primanti Bros. restaurant in the Strip District of Downtown Pittsburgh. They are famous for the sandwiches with the Fresh cut fries and the Italian style oil and vinegar coleslaw. We were lucky enough to get a seat and were served quickly. I ordered the Corned Beef and Cheese. Upon taking the first bite, it instantly became one of the ten best sandwiches of my life. When I got home, I started getting cravings. So the other day I bought all the stuff needed to make a sandwich: cabbage, carrots, potatoes, corned beef, provolone cheese, Italian bread. When I made the sandwich and ate it, I believe it to be the closest I have ever been to replicating a dish I had at a restaurant.
All you have to do is to get some good tough Italian bread, preferably un-sliced. You want it thick enough to hold all of the ingredients. Next comes the meat. I prefer corned beef, but like the Primantis menu the choices are endless. You also need some good provolone cheese. All you then have to do is grill or saute the meat with cheese and place it on the bread with a nice portion of fresh cut fries and coleslaw. Now, at Primantis they put slices of tomato on it, but as some of you may know I dislike fresh tomatoes. It is completely up to you whether you add them or not. Below I provide the recipe for the coleslaw and fries. I believe I have made my Aunt and Pittsburgh proud! Bon Appetit!!! Primanti Bros. Style Coleslaw Ingredients: 1/2 head of green cabbage 1 carrot 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar 6 Tbsp. Sugar 6 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil salt and pepper to taste
Fresh Cut Fries Ingredients: 4-5 Russet Potatoes Vegetable oil salt
