Servings

Between two slices of toasted dark rye bread lies a hearty, juicy, beautiful mess of ingredients that make no sense on paper but all the sense in the mouth. Indeed, the Reuben sandwich is one of the great culinary classics of the 20th century, so I am certain that a plant-based rendition will be considered an abomination by purists. But true flava playas don’t care. They FEEL! However, this sandwich delivers not only feelings but also nutrition. That’s why this recipe is dedicated to a very buff marble - Magnus Ruben - our dear colleague from Iceland and a self-described “macro-whore”. He never asked for this, but his name sure did. So here it is, try it, and rest assured, you’ll have no regrets.

Ingredients

50g Juicy Marbles, sliced into thin strips → [Link to product]
1 tsp oil (for cooking)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
A handful of sauerkraut
Your favorite vegan Swiss cheese
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp vegan mayo
1 tsp horseradish (adjust to taste)
2 slices of dark rye bread

Directions

Make the Russian Dressing

In a small bowl, mix ketchup, mayo, and horseradish until creamy and uniform. Set aside.

Toast the bread and melt the cheese

Place the vegan Swiss cheese on one slice of bread. Toast the bread using your method of choice:
Toaster Oven: Toast at 160°C (320°F) for 8 minutes.
Pan: Use low heat and cover the bread to help the cheese melt faster.
Panini Press: Assemble the sandwich first, then press for a few minutes until crisp.

Sear the Meat

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil.
Add the sliced Juicy Marbles and season with salt and pepper.
Sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the Sandwhich

Spread a generous layer of Russian dressing on the non-cheese slice of bread.
Add the seared Juicy Marbles and sauerkraut.
Top with the cheese-topped slice of bread.
