Recent I saw a recipe for a corned beef sandwich topped with cole slaw in a magazine and thought it would be a perfect dish to celebrate the day. But when I got to the store, I just couldn’t do it. Corned beef is so . . .odd. I’m not a fan. I had to make a substitution. After tasting a sample of chicken pastrami (ick!) and looking at the prosciutto (maybe?), I finally settled on roast beef.
I grilled the sandwiches and added big dollops of horseradish to give them a kick. Mashed sweet potatoes got the same kick of horseradish and, in honor of the day, lots of chopped parsley to give them a festive appeal. We had coleslaw on the side because I thought it might slip out of the sandwiches, but next time I plan to add it directly. Beer, of course, although not Guinness.
Dessert was an apple pie without the top, glazed by some orange marmalade jam and topped with vanilla yogurt. Yum!
Am I the only person who has a problem with corned beef?
