Layers of tempeh, sauerkraut and
onions give this sandwich a rich fl avor.
Although you can spread the bread
with mustard, the Russian dressing
takes just minutes to make—do it
while the tempeh is simmering. If you
like, top the Reubens with slices of soy
cheese, then broil them just until the
cheese melts. Two brands that melt
nicely: Soy Moon Gouda or Veggie
Slices American cheese. |
