Vegan Reuben Sandwich

Serves: 3 Cook: 10_mins

Info

We've veganized the Reuben Sandwich; a North American Classic traditionally filled with corn beef and lots of cheese. And by some vegan magic, our version tastes even better than the original.

Ingredients

For the Russian Dressing:

115g vegan mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Biona Organic Hot Pepper Sauce

1 teaspoon Biona Organic Worcester sauce

1 tablespoon finely chopped Biona Organic Gherkins

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

For the Mushrooms:

150g mixed mushrooms

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

½ teaspoon mustard seeds

¼ teaspoon fennel seeds

Pinch sea salt

1 tablespoon olive oil, to fry

For the sandwich:

6 slices Biona Organic Chia and Flaxseed Rye Bread

Vegan butter

3 slices vegan cheese

Biona Organic Ruby Beetroot Sauerkraut

Fresh dill

3 Biona Organic Gherkins, sliced

Method

To make the Russian dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
Finely slice the mushrooms. Heat a little oil in a large fry pan and sautée the garlic for 20 seconds before adding the mustard and fennel seeds.
Add the mushrooms and toss through the spices. Cook for four minutes before seasoning with sea salt.
To assemble the sandwich, lightly butter one side of the rye bread slices and place them butter side down on a pan. Grill until lightly toasted.
Remove from the pan and smear the unbuttered side of one slice with a good dollop of the dressing before following with a generous handful of the mushrooms. If you are using cheese slices, add a slice now then add the sauerkraut, slices of the gherkin and fresh dill.
Place the second slice of bread on top (buttered side out) and return the sandwich to the pan and lightly grill until warmed through.
Serve immediately.
