Delicious, easy, vegan tempeh reuben

How to make a flavorful and easy tempeh reuben sandwich

Moth watering, delicious vegan sandwich. Packed with protein, vitamins and minerals, tempeh is an amazing meat replacement.

In my early 20’s I used to be a cook in my small, Midwestern hometown at a place called “The Corner Cafe”.  They were known for their reuben sandwich.  This monster was loaded to the ceiling with salty meat, sauerkraut and dressing. 

Their bread was fresh every day from a local bakery.  This was a year or so before I went vegetarian (now vegan) so I indulged in this sandwich a bit too much.  Heck, can you blame me with my employee discount?

I’m happy to finally be able to relish in this messy sandwich again.  No need to fill it with dead animal products.  Nope!  You can make anything vegan and this sandwich is no exception. 

This salty, messy, savory, dripping with dressing sandwich will help satisfy any cravings that you might have for a meaty sandwich.
