Beef pastrami sandwich for a picnic spreads a layer of mayonnaise mixed with cream cheese on toasted baguette, then kashkaval (yellow cheese), vegetables and slices of pastrami. It makes a tall picnic sandwich with clear layers that eats well cold. I ask the deli to slice the pastrami very thin, because I like how it settles over the kashkaval. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 5 minutes. Total time: 25 minutes. Servings: 2. About 760 kcal and 43 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

2 lettuce leaves
7 slices of beef pastrami (120 g)
1 medium green cucumber (150 g)
2 pickled cucumbers (80 g)
1/2 small white onion (50 g)
1/2 small red onion (50 g)
1/2 red bell pepper (100 g)
3 slices of kashkaval
1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of cream cheese spread
1 medium baguette (250 g)

Preparation

1. Slice the green cucumber and the red bell pepper, and cut the white and red onions into thin rings. 2. Cut the baguette in half, lengthwise. 3. Heat a dry pan over low heat and toast the baguette cut side down for 5 minutes, until the edges are golden. 4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of cream cheese spread until smooth. 5. Take the baguette out of the pan and place it toasted side up. Spread the sauce with a knife over both halves. 6. Arrange the white onion, the fresh cucumber slices and the red bell pepper slices on top. 7. Cut 3 slices of kashkaval and place them over the pepper. 8. Add the pickled cucumber slices, then the 7 slices of pastrami on top. 9. Finish with the lettuce leaves and the red onion rings.

Notes

Very thinly sliced pastrami sticks to the kashkaval better, while thick slices tear when you bite into them. Spread each slice of pastrami with your fingers so it does not stay folded in the bread. If the red onion is too strong, rinse it under cold water and dry it well before putting it on the bread. Pickled cucumbers can be too salty, in which case rinse them briefly and dry them with kitchen paper. Choose a baguette with a thin crust and white crumb, which toasts lightly on the cut side and does not go hard by the time you reach the picnic. Assemble the sandwich just before leaving, because wet vegetables soften the bread if it sits for long. Contains gluten, dairy and eggs (from the mayonnaise). For the picnic, take it with a cold mint tea.
