Prep Time
30 minutes
Crunchy and chewy ciabatta rolls are the perfect vehicle for the rich meat, and a sweet and spicy slaw made with apples, cabbage, and a creamy dressing made with freshly grated horseradish. (If you don’t have a fresh root specimen on hand, feel free to use an equal amount of prepared horseradish.)
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons freshly grated horseradish (or prepared horseradish)
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, plus more as needed
-
⅓ cup mayonnaise, (preferably Duke’s)
-
⅓ cup sour cream
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1/2 head green cabbage
-
1 medium onion
-
1 large, crisp and tart apple
-
4 ciabatta rolls
Directions
To make the dressing, whisk together the horseradish, apple cider vinegar, mayo, and sour cream in a mixing bowl (big enough to hold the vegetables). Lightly season with salt and pepper, taste and add more vinegar if desired and then set aside.
Use a Japanese mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage, onion, and (cored but not peeled) apple. Place the vegetables in the bowl with the dressing and toss to combine; lightly season again with salt and pepper.
To make the sandwiches, split the ciabatta rolls horizontally. Pile about ½ cup of slaw on the bottom roll, top with brisket slices, as desired, and the top of the bun. Give the sandwich a gentle “squish” to meld the flavors, slice in half and serve.
Recipe Note
For the best flavor, seek out a snappy, crisp and tart variety of apple such as Northern Spy, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith. For added crunch, toast the ciabatta rolls just before serving.
