pan-frying American
reuben-sandwich

This substantial sandwich, a delicatessen standard, could very well have been invented in Omaha, and not New York. Good with sour dill pickles.

Yield : Makes 4 sandwiches
Prep Time :  10 mins
Cooking Time : 8–12 mins

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (225g) sauerkraut
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • ½ cup store-bought Russian salad dressing
  • 12 oz (340g) sliced corned beef
  • 4 oz (115g) sliced Swiss cheese
  • 4 tbsp butter

Directions

1. Rinse the sauerkraut in a colander. Place a plate on top and let drain in the sink for 15 minutes.

2. Spread the bread slices with the dressing. Divide the corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut over 4 slices. Top each with a bread slice, dressing side down.

3. Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a very large frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 of the sandwiches and top each with a small heatproof plate. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown.

4. Flip the sandwiches over, removing and replacing the plates. Add 1 tbsp of butter and cook another 2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown. Transfer to a platter and tent with aluminium foil. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and butter. Serve hot.
