REUBEN SANDWICH



Reuben Sandwich image

Like many classic dishes, the Reuben sandwich has multiple origin stories: Some accounts trace its origins to the since-shuttered Reuben's delicatessen in New York City, where Arthur Reuben created a special for one of Charlie Chaplin's leading ladies in 1914, using ham, turkey, Swiss cheese and coleslaw on rye. Another origin story points to a customer, Reuben Kulakofsky, who was said to have ordered a corned beef and sauerkraut sandwich at Blackstone Hotel, in Omaha, where Bernard Schimmel obliged by rounding it out with Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese, rye bread and a hot grill. Today's Reuben sandwiches feature corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and a healthy smear of Russian dressing between toasted, buttered rye. Homemade dressing has a brighter, fresher flavor than the bottled variety, and comes together in just a few turns of a whisk. To achieve the prized crispy crust and gooey cheese, keep the heat low enough to allow the buttered bread to toast while the cheese melts.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons dill pickle relish (not sweet)
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
8 slices rye sandwich bread
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Transfer sandwiches to plates and wipe out skillet. Repeat with the remaining bread, sauce, corned beef, sauerkraut and cheese. Serve warm.

TILAPIA REUBEN SANDWICH



Tilapia Reuben Sandwich image

Ok ... everyone is familiar with reubens ... and southerners know the grouper reuben which is very good. Well for some, grouper is very expensive and sometimes not always available. So here is my twist. This is a great double decker sandwich, still grilled with all the traditional flavors and a little twist. This sandwich is so big it is great as a main course or just cut in half and served with a side of soup. A creamy potato soup or any favorite would make this dinner.

Time 20m

Yield 4-8 full or half sandwiches, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tilapia fillets
12 slices pumpernickel bread (thin sliced, 3 per sandwich)
16 slices swiss cheese (very thin sliced, you need 4 per sandwich)
8 tablespoons thousand island dressing (a good store bought brand is fine)
1 cup flour
1 pinch cayenne
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons butter (1 tablespoon to grill the fish, 1 tablespoon to grill the sandwiches)
1 1/2 cups sauerkraut (a good store brand from the deli, fresh is better)
1 small red onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 pinch caraway seed
1 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Kraut -- Lets get the sauerkraut layer started. Add 1 teaspoon of the butter to a small saute pan and melt on medium high. Add the onions and caraway and cook until soft and slightly golden brown, Maybe 4-5 minutes. Add the sauerkraut (drained) and let simmer on medium low until every thing is combined and some of the liquid reduces.
  • Fish -- First the fish should be taken out of the fridge so they are close to room temperature Then in a pie pan or small dish add the flour, cayenne, salt and pepper. Dip the fish in the flour mixture and coat both sides, just to get a light coating. This is not a heavy crust, just a light crust is all.
  • Saute -- In a large saute pan, add 1 tablespoon of the butter and bring to medium high heat. Saute the fish until golden brown on each side. They will only take 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool for just a minute or two.
  • Use a fork and lightly break up the fish, not flaked like canned tuna, just break it up lightly so it isn't "one whole piece" on the sandwich.
  • Sandwich -- Now build the sandwich, 1 slice of bread topped with thousand island dressing (go easy on the dressing), cheese, fish, then top with a couple of spoons of the sauerkraut and onions. Next, a slice of cheese and bread with thousand island spread on the inside, then repeat. Topped with more thousand island (again go easy), cheese, fish, sauerkraut, cheese and the final bread for the top.
  • Remember this is a double decker sandwich so don't make the layers too thick.
  • Grill -- In a saute pan or grill pan. Spread the outside top and bottom with a light "smear" of butter and grill on medium to medium low to toast the outside and get nice and golden brown. As they grill I like to cover so the cheese melts. Use a large lid or just a piece of foil will work fine, just don't grill on high, let it go slowly. Cut these in half and serve 1/2 per person they are big and delish!

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup minced red onion

Tips:

  • Use fresh tilapia fillets. Fresh fillets will have a mild, flaky texture and a clean, briny flavor. Avoid fillets that are frozen or have a slimy texture.
  • Season the tilapia fillets well. Tilapia is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well before cooking. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Cook the tilapia fillets until they are cooked through. Tilapia is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking the fish, as this will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality bread for the sandwich. The bread should be sturdy enough to hold up to the fillings, but it should also be soft and fluffy. A good option is a hearty rye bread or a sourdough bread.
  • Pile on the fillings. The more fillings you use, the better the sandwich will be. Some classic fillings for a Reuben sandwich include sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing.

Conclusion:

The tilapia Reuben sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover tilapia fillets, and it's also a fun and creative way to serve fish. With its flaky fish, tangy sauerkraut, melted cheese, and creamy dressing, the tilapia Reuben sandwich is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
