Vegetarian Reuben Sandwich(Virgin Reuben) image

I have another recipe from Moosewood that's called a Portabella Reuben, but this is from the Food Network Kitchens and I think you will enjoy this one too!You can leave out the tempeh bacon and/or use veggie bacon, toful bacon, wham(vegetarian ham), or even roasted mushrooms.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 lb sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
1 sweet apple, peeled, and grated (optional)
generous pinch allspice
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili sauce (or ketchup or try Thai chili sauce for a kick)
1 dash hot sauce
1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced (optional)
2 teaspoons capers, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
12 slices tempeh bacon (you can leave this out or use veggie bacon, tofu bacon, seitan or wham=vegetarian ham)
1 -2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
8 slices rye bread (or pumpernickel bread)
12 slices dill pickles
2 cups grated swiss cheese (8 ounces)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan on medium heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic; cook until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the sauerkraut, apple(if using), and allspice, season with salt and a generous grinding of black pepper.
  • Cook until sauerkraut is tender, lightly browned and all the liquid has evaporated, about 15 minutes more(you want all the liquid gone).
  • For the Russian dressing:.
  • Mix all the dressing ingredients together, cover and chill until ready to use.
  • For the Sandwich:.
  • Heat a grill pan on medium low heat.
  • If using the tempeh: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the tempeh, in batches as needed, until crispy golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels. If using other options, cook as directed.
  • Spread some butter on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 4 pieces, buttered side down, on a work surface. Spread some of the Russian dressing on. Evenly lay the pickles, tempeh(or other options) if using, sauerkraut, and then cheese on top. Top with second slice of bread, to make 4 sandwiches.
  • Place the sandwiches on the grill and cook about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning once so both sides get nice and golden brown, about 4-6 minutes total.
  • Serve hot. Enjoy!

I love that this recipe uses tempeh instead of corned beef. Tempeh is a great source of protein and it has a nice smoky flavor.

This sandwich is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sauerkraut and Swiss cheese are both hidden inside the sandwich, so they won't even notice they're eating them.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this sandwich. The tempeh was a great substitute for corned beef and the flavors were all very well-balanced.

This vegetarian Reuben sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meatless meal. The combination of sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing is classic, and the tempeh provides a hearty and flavorful substitute for corned beef.
