A terrific sandwich for a light evening meal or a hearty lunch!

These tempeh reubens will satisfy your every desire for delicious! Thinly sliced tempeh simmered in a flavorful broth makes a great sandwich “meat” in this deli classic. You might want to look for Follow Your Heart vegan cheese, which seems to melt better than other brands we've tried.

Seasoned Tempeh
1/4 cup Bragg Liquid Aminos
1 small onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic, peeled

1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise

How we make it
To prepare Seasoned Tempeh: Combine liquid aminos, onion, garlic, bay leaf
and 2 cups water in saucepan over medium heat. Add tempeh slices, and bring
to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 20 minutes. Cover, and let
tempeh cool in broth.
To make Thousand Island Dressing: Stir together mayonnaise, relish and
ketchup in small bowl.
To make Sandwiches: Toast 8 slices bread. Set aside. Drain tempeh, and
discard liquid, onion, garlic and bay leaf. Place 3 slices tempeh on each
slice of remaining bread. Top with cheese slices. Toast or broil 3 to 5
minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Top each sandwich with 1/4 cup sauerkraut. Spread toasted bread slices with
Thousand Island Dressing. Place tops on sandwiches, and slice in
half.
