A Reuben sandwich is so much more than just another pastrami sandwich.
This recipe is a copycat of the Reuben Sandwiches made famous by Katzs Deli in NYC.
Because I cant fly halfway around the world every time I need a fix!

Reuben Sandwich recipe
If youre wonderingwhats a Reuben Sandwich and why are you so bonkers about them?
Its an unbelievable combination of flavours and textures.
And it is, without question, one of the BEST sandwiches in the world!
Sauerkraut essential for a true Reuben sandwich, a big pile of sauerkraut which is pickled cabbage.
Were making our own here because even aquicksauerkraut is way better than what you get in jars at supermarkets.
I use a Rick Stein recipe, and its really (really!)
Russian Dressing Another essential component of a Reuben Sandwich!
Its basically a slightly spicyThousand Island Dressing.
Gruyere or Emmental or even Swiss style cheese works a treat as well.
Rye Bread No other bread will do here.
EASY Homemade Pastrami
Homemade Pastramiis one of those gold nugget recipes that has high returns for very little effort.
One bite, and you will be BLOWN AWAY how good it is.
Its sliceable but fork tender, and the fresh flavour of the spices is just so so good!

Typically sauerkraut is left to ferment for weeks to allow flavours to develop.
Luckily for us, Rick Stein has a mighty good quick sauerkraut recipe 15 minutes on the stove.
better than what you get in jars at the supermarket.
Rick Stein uses it and I like it!
Russian Dressing
Just calls for mixing up a handful of ingredients.
Essentially its a slightly spicier Thousand Island Dressing.
I know Sriracha looks like an odd choice, being an Asian ingredient and all.
But it works a treat in place of spicy Ketchup which isnt something Im familiar with.
Chilli sauce or ketchup + tabasco works fine here too.
Assembling
And heres how to assemble the Reuben.
Pile up the sauerkraut generously!
Once you squish the sandwich together, it compresses down alot.
I know I said that this is a sandwich so good, it can make a grown man cry.
But we both know I meant a grownwoman, right?
All the while I was devouring this sandwich, I was doing the jiggy around the kitchen.
Hands down, one of the BEST sandwiches in the whole world and worth the effort!
