Vegetarian Reuben
(Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant Simple Supper Cookbook)
The relationship to a Reuben sandwich is in the inspiration rather than the execution. For myself, I usually just enjoy the cole slaw on toasted pumpernickel bread.
1/4 c mayonnaise
1 T ketchup
2 t white or cider vinegar
pinch of salt
black pepper to taste
pinch of sugar
1 8 oz package of coleslaw mix or 4 c finely shredded cabbage
8 thin slices of rye or pumpernickel bread, toasted
4 tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 oz thinly sliced Swiss cheese
In a large bowl mix the mayo, ketchup, vinegar, salt, pepper, and
sugar. Add coleslaw and mix well. Assemble the open-faced
sandwhiches on a baking sheet. place about 1/4 c coleslaw on each
slice and top with tomato, then cheese. Broil until the cheese melts,
3-5 min. Serve open-faced.
Suggested variations:
Used well-drained sauerkraut instead of coleslaw
Add sliced seasoned tofu. (Yeah, that's not going to happen)
