Finishing
Method
Zucchini Pickle (quick refrigerator pickle)
- 1
Prepare brine
In a small heatproof bowl or measuring cup, combine white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
- 2
Pack zucchini
Place the very thinly sliced zucchini in a clean jar or small container. Add the smashed garlic clove and black peppercorns if using.
- 3
Add brine and chill
Pour the warm or room-temperature brine over the zucchini so they are fully submerged. Press slices down to remove air pockets, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (best 1–2 hours) before assembling. Keeps up to 3 days refrigerated.
Sandwich Assembly
- 4
Warm proteins (if chilled)
If the tongue and brisket are chilled, warm them gently in a skillet over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes per side just to take the chill off and meld flavors. Do not overcook — you only want them warm.

- 6
Spread mustard
Spread the yellow mustard evenly on both cut sides of the toasted roll (about 1 tablespoon per side).
- 7
Layer cheeses and meats
On the bottom half of the roll, place the havarti dill slices so they slightly overlap. Arrange the warm sliced beef brisket evenly over the cheese, then top with the sliced beef tongue.
- 8
Add pickles and peppers
Drain a small amount of the zucchini pickle (leave some of the brine if desired for extra tang) and layer 3–4 slices over the meats. Add the sliced cherry peppers distributed across the sandwich to taste.
- 9
Finish and serve
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper to taste. Close the sandwich, press gently to compact, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
