Corned Beef and Swiss Panini on Rye

by Pam on March 17, 2013

We had leftover corned beef to use up so I decided to make a quick panini dinner. The corned beef was fairly hard when I took it out of the refrigerator so I crumbled it up, tossed a tablespoon of water on top of it, and microwaved it for 30 seconds. It came out super moist and tender. I then layered it on some light rye bread along with a little mayonnaise and grainy mustard then topped it with a slice of Swiss cheese. The panini maker cooked it to perfection and it turned out to be crispy on the outside and so tasty and flavorful. It was an excellent sandwich and a quick and easy dinner – love that!

Preheat your panini grill or a grill pan over medium heat.

Break up the corned beef with your fingers and place into a bowl. Add a tablespoon of water to the top of the corned beef then cover with a paper towel. Place into the microwave and heat for 30 seconds. Place a little bit of mayonnaise on top of one slice of bread. Add the corned beef to the top followed by a piece (or two) of Swiss cheese. Spread some grainy mustard on another slice of rye bread then place it on top.

Place into your panini pan (or grill pan). Cook for 5 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Side Note: I always cook my paninis dry. I find that using oil or butter on the bread makes the sandwich too greasy. Try it – I bet you will like it and it’s way better for you!

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that corned beef and cabbage is not authentic St. Patrick’s Day food. It wasn’t until Irish immigrants, fleeing the great potato famine, arrived in New York, and started hanging out in delicatessens that brisket became the cabbage-adjacent meat of choice.

I assume it was the potato knishes’ siren song that initially drew them in, but eventually they got hooked on the corned beef, and the rest is history. So, I decided to do a little mash-up (and mash-under), and this Irish pork stew with baby cabbage was the result. By the way, “baby cabbage” can be a little hard to find, but you can use Brussels sprouts, and no one will know the difference…mostly because there isn’t one.

You can cook them in the stew if you want, but the timing can be tricky, and trust me, you don’t want to eat “baby cabbage” that’s been cooked too long; no one does, So, I highly recommend blanching them first, and warming through at the end.

Since we are using Guinness, I will admit this isn’t a beginner’s stew. The stout gives a ton of flavor, but also a slightly bitter note, which some people do not enjoy. I balanced it with the balsamic vinegar and caraway seed, and it was absolutely wonderful, but I think it’s worth mentioning.

You can leave it out, use a lighter beer, or just splash in some extra stock. Anyway, if you’re looking for beautiful alternative to that traditional “authentic” St. Patrick’s Day meal, then I hope you give this a try. Enjoy!
