An indulgent plant-based twist on the classic Reuben sandwich featuring delicious mushrooms, vibrant spices, and a homemade Russian dressing. Perfect for satisfying cravings for comforting meaty mains.
1: In a spice grinder, grind your black pepper, coriander, and mustard seeds, optionally use ground spices instead.
2: On a large cast iron pan, with 1 tbsp of oil, cook your mushrooms over high heat for 5 minutes, then add the spices and mix to combine. Cook for another 2-5 minutes until slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
3: In a small bowl, combine your dressing ingredients.
4: Build your sandwich by placing the mushrooms, sauerkraut, and cheese on the bottom slice, then place it on the pan you cooked the mushrooms in. Cover with a splash of water to melt the cheese.
5: Remove and top with pickles and Russian dressing. Optionally, stick the entire sandwich back on the pan to melt everything together or enjoy as is.
