This sandwich is better than it has any right to be. Collard greens in a sandwich with coleslaw and Russian dressing? It just doesn’t jump out at you…but it should. It may be one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. Thank God it’s a little more involved to make or it this triple-decker vegetarian sandwich might become a weekly indulgence for me.
This recipe comes from the New Orleans restaurant The Turkey & The Wolf (via Bon Appetit), which was named the best new restaurant in America in 2017.
It’s filling and satisfying and so delicious and insanely messy. Like 15-napkins-per-person messy. Plus it takes some prep and time to put together. Don’t let that deter you! You must try this.
Spicy, punchy stewed collard greens are flavored with Creole seasoning and red wine vinegar and cooked down until tender. A spicy Russian dressing made with pickled cherry peppers adds even more heat to the sandwich. Plus a super-basic mayonnaise-based coleslaw. Layer all these ingredients on good bakery-quality marble rye bread, toasted, and melty Swiss cheese. It’s heavenly.
