Who doesn’t love a good sandwich?! I certainly LOVE sandwiches. I thought I needed cheese on a sandwich for it to taste to good or be complete but I was sadly mistaken! It’s really all about the sauce! Generally speaking, a good sauce pretty much makes any meal. Amirite? This sandwich is A-1. Definitely a new favorite. Could be because there is sauerkraut in it. Now that I don’t eat hot dogs or sausages any more (& very rarely have the vegan versions) I don’t have much sauerkraut now-a-days, which is a bummer. With this sandwich, however, I get to have it! I used to think that thousand island dressing and sauerkraut was an odd combination but it’s actually super tasty, on top of being unique. I hope you enjoy my version of a Reuben Sandwich as much as I do. It’s seriously so good and packed with flavor!
Servings: 2 sandwiches
Tempeh Ingredients
- ½ block of tempeh

Tempeh Instructions
- Cut the tempeh into 8 planks/sticks. Place in a shallow bowl.
- In the dish, add the tamari, lemon juice, smoked paprika and garlic to the tempeh.
