What do I do with a pastrami?
Angela found this piece of meat in with the ham and turkey that stays it is
pastrami. She wanted it. It is about an inch high and in length maybe the size of my hand. I assume it is already cooked. Can I just heat it and cut it in slices? The only pastrami I am familiar with is sliced for sandwiches. I did try to search but only came up with recipes for making it. Seems this stuff is already made. Thanks! |

I use it for anything - sandwiches, as the protein in salads. It is a nice addition to a party platter, as is or rolled around asparagus spears or a pickle. Also nice rolled around sun dried tomatoes and fetta. You could make it into fritters with gluten free flour. Nice with tomato sauce (ketchup) that way. Because it came in a piece you could heat it slowly in the micro and have it with vegetables and a pepper sauce. |

Must be something that's not common here. The only fritters I know about are sweet. Like apple or corn. But Angela does like ketchup. |

Use the same batter as for sweet fritters but cut up pieces of meat and put in the batter as opposed to coating individual pieces. Then cook in a pan like you are cooking a pancake. So any basic fritter recipe would do minus the sugar if any. Any sauce or gravy over pastrami would be nice. A nice mustard sauce perhaps. With garlic mash... |

I was watching a show on TV the other day and they were talking about sauces. Went on and on about all the sauces you could use with chicken. My mom pretty much only used salt, pepper and maybe parsley. I do have other seasonings but just never got into sauces. Except perhaps for spaghetti sauce. We generally don't eat gravy either. |

That is a batter > fried meat. Probably not. My mom made fried chicken for a few years when I was really young but she just put flour on it. I'm not really old enough to remember. I do remember her making fried okra and I liked that. The only fried chicken I remember eating after that was KFC and really I tried to avoid the chicken. I would eat the potatoes and biscuits but I never liked fried chicken. > : > > : > Any sauce or gravy over pastrami would be nice. A nice mustard sauce > : > perhaps.

If I get something in a restaurant with a sauce, I usually scrape it all off. Not that I would order anything like that these days. Never know what might be in the sauce. |

I am drooling :) I found out it is turkey pastrami. Probably won't be very good. I tend to avoid stuff made of turkey that is pretending to be other meats, but she was so excited about it that I bought it. She has come off of a week of eating little more than chicken broth with chicken and rice, due to a sore throat that the Dr. said was probably a virus. And then yesterday she was in the hospital with more urinary problems. It's worse this time and the PA doesn't believe the diagnosis of impacted feces causing the problem. So she has to see a specialist. She is stressing out over that so right now I will just buy her whatever she wants. |

First the brisket is salt water cured up to three weeks to make corned beef. The corned beef is then rubbed with herbs and spices and smoked for about one hour a pound, until 165 F internal, to make pastrami, so yes, it's already cooked. I've only had it in sandwiches. The Reuben is my favorite. The Reuben sandwich is a grilled or toasted sandwich made with either pastrami or corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and either Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing. It is typically made with rye bread Reuben Sandwich - 4 servings Ingredients 8 - slices dark rye bread 1/2 cup Russian or Thousand Island dressing 8 - ounces pastrami or corned beef 4 - ounces Sauerkraut, well drained 4 - ounces Swiss cheese (1 or 2 slices each sandwich) 4 - pats butter Directions 1. Spread the dressing on each bread slice. 2. On one slice, place the corned beef, then the sauerkraut, and then the cheese. 3. Place the second slice on the top with the dressing side down. 4. Butter the top of the sandwich and place buttered side down on a preheated griddle. 5. Now butter the other side of the sandwich, which is the top side. 6. Heat the sandwich until bread is golden brown. 7. Turn once and allow the other side to become golden brown. 8. Cut the sandwich in half and serve. *********************************** Russian Dressing for Reuben Sandwiches Servings: 4 1 Tbs carrots,grated 1 Tbs beets, grated 1 Tbs onions,grated 6 Tbs Mayonnaise Instructions This product is not stable and should be made fresh. If the product is to be kept, it should be pasteurized 30 minutes at 160° F. This is supposed to be the genuine Russian dressing. If the raw materials are to be kept any time before being use, they should be covered with strong vinegar. Of course, this vinegar must be removed by pressing or draining before using the materials." *********************************** Russian Dressing 2 Combine the following ingredients. Makes one-half cup 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1-1/2 Tbsp ketchup 1 Tbs onions,grated 1-1/2 tsp prepared horseradish 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce Salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste ******************* ******************* Super Hero Sandwich 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 stirato (long loaf of hero bread), unsliced 6 oz Thin sliced Pastrami 6 oz Thin sliced Smoked Turkey 6 oz Thin sliced Smoked Ham 1/4 head lettuce 1 medium tomato, sliced 4 slices Colby Cheese 4 slices Swiss Cheese 1 red onion, sliced 1/2 cup sliced pickles Cut loaf of bread in half horizontally. Spread both halves with mayonnaise. On bottom half, layer ingredients in following order: lettuce, tomato, Colby cheese, Swiss cheese, onion, pastrami, ham, turkey and pickle. Top with remaining half loaf and serve. Wrap leftovers in Press'n Seal wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat. Serves 6. You may be able to modify either of these, or Google on 'recipes using pastrami' or 'recipes using corned beef'. HTH -- Nick, KI6VAV.

When I was a kid I > loved tunafish sandwiches best of all. I still like them. I liked them too and still do but would prefer to have them with mayo and I can't. :( I also made peanut butter and dill pickle or peanut butter and American cheese sandwiches. Cold meatloaf on white bread was another favorite but we didn't get that often. That was mainly reserved for road trips. It was one of the few times my mom did make us sandwiches. I also remember her making French Dip sandwiches a few times. The first time my brother had one, he put his piece of sandwich in the au jus and the phone rang. It was for him. He talked for a good 5 minutes then returned to his sandwich which was now soaked. He then picked it up, headed it for his mouth and squeezed it. He began screaming in horror as the au jus streamed down his arm. We all laughed and my mom said, "Well... What did you THINK was going to happen!?" I'm sure he was old enough to have known better, but as I said, it was the first time we'd ever had them. |

She also found a corned beef that she wanted me to buy. It did have directions and required more cooking than I have time for on most days. Could be you can get that pre-cooked as well.

Angela did have one of those when she was younger and liked it, but not possible now with the food allergies. |

I roasted a small turkey tonight, and all week I'll be enjoying my many favorite ways to eat up leftover turkey. :-) Priscilla |

I do use some of the recipes in them. I have some with the sauced rice ring but it has peas in the middle of it. I have never personally made anything into a ring. My one grandma collected copper molds and had them displayed all over her kitchen. She also had the same kind of copper bottomed Revereware that I do. She was constantly polishing the stuff. When I was younger, I thought it needed to be polished. Then I realized there was no real point in doing that. It cooked the same, polished or unpolished. And once you used it, it went all ugly again. |

Peanut putter just didn't go well with luncheon meat :) I'll never forget having lunch at a friend's house when I was about 4 or 5. They were some religion that had all these rules that I thought were plain silly. At least my mom told me that the rules came from the religion. Maybe not. Like they weren't allowed to go to the movies or watch TV. They were allowed to play games but only certain ones. We were in the bedroom sitting on little chairs at a little table playing a game called Hands Down. I see it is still being made. http://www.boardgames.com/handsdowngame.html I can't remember the exact rules but the object was to slap the plastic hands. Instead of doing that though, one of the kids who lived at that house was slapping *my* hands and hard! And getting away with it because house rules dictated that you weren't allowed to "tattle" on anyone else. I was quite relieved when lunch was served. But also taken aback that the mother served the lunch right there at the little table in the bedroom. With all those rules, you'd think she would have insisted we eat in the kitchen like we did in our house. We had no dining room in those days but would move the kitchen table into the living room when we had company. Anyway... Lunch was Campbell's chicken noodle soup and peanut butter sandwiches. And somehow (I can't remember how it happened) a blob of peanut butter plopped into my soup. I was horrified but the mother said I had to eat it anyway because they didn't waste food in that house. I can still remember the taste of that soup. Oh, vile! Could be it was an off brand of peanut butter or that it was spoiled. In those days we had no pull dates on food. But the taste was so greasy and bitter, I have never been tempted to try any foods involving peanut butter, like Pad Thai. Just the thought of peanut butter mixed into anything except for sweets or a peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and pickle sandwich makes me want to hurl. I also remember carrying on about it to my mother when I got home. I don't think we ever went over to that house to play again. The kids weren't really good friends of ours. They went to some special school. Probably a religious school. But my mom made us play with them from time to time when she went visiting. In those days she did that a lot. My brother and I weren't in school yet. She didn't have a car and didn't work. Seems none of the moms on our block worked and they went back and forth to the various houses for coffee and such. I can remember when they came out with the first plastic bags. They had the flip over tuck in flap. Never kept the sandwiches fresh! Before that we used waxed paper bags. Oddly, they kept the sandwiches very fresh even though the end was just folded over. My mom never taped the bags, although I'm sure some people did. When Angela broke her arm at the start of school, I bought her some waxed paper bags for her lunch. She loved them because she could open them with just one hand. I still buy them. The bread that I eat comes in a round loaf. It is longer and not as tall per slice as regular bread. It fits well in the waxed paper bags. |

We used > butter back then. The first margarine in Australia tasted absolutely > disgusting. My mom's friend puts potato chips on her sandwiches, but it doesn't sound appealing to me. As a child I wouldn't eat them at all. Only Fritos, then later when they came out with them, tortilla chips. My mom always bought the big three vegetables. Canned peas, corn and green beans. In my Jr. High years, specifically French cut green beans. I don't know why but that particular type was on the Weight Watcher's menu. We always had one of those vegetables every night will dinner. In addition she bought canned carrots, asparagus (less often), hominy, black eyed peas, spinach (thankfully not often), tomatoes, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, whole potatoes, Shelly beans (green beans mixed with cooked dried beans and a favorite of mine), and maybe a few other things I've forgotten about. I ate all willingly except for the spinach and asparagus. We had two cooked vegetables with every meal. In addition there was always an iceberg lettuce salad. One of my parents came up with the bright idea of cutting a head of lettuce into four wedges and calling it "Honeymoon" salad. Lettuce alone. Har, har. The thing was danged hard to eat! When I got older, I insisted on making the salad and it was always a tossed salad or something more creative. I bought other types of greens (although much less variety available than today) and other things like radishes, carrots, celery, tomatoes, etc. In season, I grew these things in my garden. By the time I reached high school, I shuddered at the thought of buying lunch at school or bringing a lunch. So I made my own trail mix and kept that in my purse. I subsisted on that quite a lot! We did find all sorts of ways to legally cut class and we often went to the local shopping center or other places. Funds were rather low though so we didn't get to go out for an actual lunch very often. When we did though, it was never fast food. Then in my Jr. year, we had the good luck of being able to use the "Foreign Language Lounge". It was an extra classroom with basically nothing in it, but it did have a kitchen complete with all appliances and a sink. We got some furniture donated and a bunch of us took turns cooking lunch. Usually the food was cooked at home and reheated there. We didn't have microwaves in those days. They had been invented but were not yet a common thing. We had to use the oven to heat the food. And the way it worked out, each of us had to provide food for the rest about once every 2 weeks. That worked out quite nicely. I can't remember now what we did for plates and silverware and such. Perhaps there were some in the room and we just used those. I vaguely remember doing dishes. |

Then again, I've never liked hot dogs. When I was a kid if I was forced to have one (that didn't happen often), I would pick off the very outer coating and eat only that. I couldn't eat any of it that had touched the meat because it made it taste bad. > |

I used to use them. Not really sure why I stopped, except that they add extra weight to her backpack and then of course I have to wash them. |

Foil and plastic are nearly forever. But they do have their uses. -- -- Best Regards, Evelyn Rest in a sky-like mind. Sit like a mountain floating on the earth.
