Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Vegetarian Reubens with Russian Dressing Russian dressing 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise 2 teaspoons ketchup 2 teaspoons chopped capers 1 teaspoon chopped pickle or relish Sandwiches 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 cup sliced mushrooms 5 cups baby spinach Freshly ground pepper to taste 4 slices rye bread 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese, such as Jarlsberg Lite or Alpine Lace (2 ounces) 1/2 cup sauerkraut To prepare Russian dressing: Whisk mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in capers and pickle (or relish). To prepare sandwiches: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 4 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until it has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate. Coat the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and return to medium heat. Add the bread; divide cheese equally among the slices. Divide sauerkraut between 2 slices and divide the spinach mixture between the other 2 slices; cook until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer sandwich halves to a cutting board. Divide the dressing between the spinach halves. Carefully place the sauerkraut halves on top. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Any time I see a recipe for veggie reubens without tempeh, I feel compelled to mention how much better they are with some crisped-up (i.e., baked, fried, grilled) tempeh! -Erin www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
