Reuben Sandwich

[Allison]

I just have to share how awesome Alissa's Reuben sandwich recipe is. That stuff is the best and could definitely become a comfort food. Even my children, who do not like avocadoes or sauerkraut were gobbling it down. They asked me if I would make it again tomorrow. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the review! I didn't know Alissa had a reuben recipe. (How did I ever miss a recipe that calls for sauerkraut?? Yum!)

I've been wondering about her Reuben recipe... What are you using for the sauerkraut? Can you buy raw, or are you making your own? Reubens used to be one of my favorites!

http://www.rejuvenative.com and you can make your own, but I think Alissa had mentioned somewhere that she gets hers here now...(I hope I am giving you the right info)

whats a reuben?

Thanks for the sauerkraut linK!

A reuben is a SAD but decadent corned beef and sauerkraut sandwich with a thousand-island like dressing on rye bread. It's usually served warm, sometimes open-faced!!

Ah ok I have never heard of it before thanks for the info!

Ruebens used to be one of my favorite things...I will definitely have to try this!

The saurkraut from Rejuvenative is wonderful!!!

I made my own. The recipe is from Eating Without Heating.

Sauerkraut

Grate the following ingredients into a bowl:

3 medium heads cabbage
5 carrots
8 bay leaves
1 T. dill seed
2 T. salt

Cover the mixture with a plate and something heavy like a container of water to keep the juice coming up. Don't let cabbage dry out on top. Yields 1 1/2 gallons.

I haven't had the time to make the rye bread, but the reuben sounded good so I put raw sauerkraut on top of sliced avocado. Sounded like a kind of gross combo, but it is amazingly good!
