Tempeh Reuben Sandwich

Recipe Serves 4

This Tempeh Reuben Sandwich is a quick and easy vegetarian recipe. While Rueben’s are generally made with Russian Dressing, we prefer using Thousand Island along side the sauerkraut and cheese.

Tempeh (Tem-PAY) – This high protein product was first used in the country of Indonesia. Since then it has traveled throughout the world as people added this high protein meat alternative to their food. Tempeh is traditionally made with soybean that have been cooked, soaked, fermented and shaped into a patty. However, other grains are also used such as barley, millet and brown rice.
