Time 25m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup mayo
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
One 8-ounce package tempeh
Extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
8 slices multigrain bread
8 slices Muenster cheese
1 carrot, grated
1 cup sauerkraut

Steps:

  • For the Russian dressing: Combine the ketchup, mayo, horseradish, relish, Worcestershire, paprika and black pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined.
  • For the Reuben: Slice each piece of tempeh crosswise into two smaller pieces, then slice horizontally into each slice to create two thinner pieces.
  • Heat an iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle with olive oil (I like to take a paper towel in tongs and rub it over the griddle to evenly distribute the oil). Cook the tempeh until golden brown, 2 minutes per side.
  • Butter one side of each piece of bread, then turn over. Spread four of the slices with some Russian dressing, then top those with 1 slice of cheese each. Top with a piece of tempeh, some grated carrot and some sauerkraut, then top with another slice of cheese each. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
  • Heat the iron griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches about 2 minutes per side. (I like to use a metal mixing bowl to dome the sandwiches so the cheese melts.)

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality tempeh. Look for tempeh that is firm and has a slightly nutty flavor. Avoid tempeh that is too soft or has a sour smell.
  • Press the tempeh before cooking. This will help to remove excess moisture and make the tempeh more crispy.
  • Marinate the tempeh before cooking. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the tempeh.
  • Cook the tempeh over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tempeh from burning.
  • Don't overcook the tempeh. Overcooked tempeh will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the tempeh reuben with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island dressing.

Conclusion:

The tempeh reuben is a delicious and satisfying sandwich that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover tempeh, and it is also a great option for a quick and easy meal. With its combination of savory flavors and textures, the tempeh reuben is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
