Homemade Russian dressing, sautéed tempeh, and vegan Swiss cheese are sandwiched between slices of rye bread to make this Vegan Tempeh Reuben. It’s comforting, smoky, and delicious!

Tempeh Reuben

raw cashews

water

dry white wine (optional)

lemon juice

white miso paste

salt

tapioca starch

vegetable oil

sweet onion, finely diced (about 3 cups)

garlic,

(2) 8-ounce packages tempeh, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces

soy sauce

smoked paprika

vegan mayo

ketchup

horseradish (I used Annie's)

Worcestershire sauce

sweet pickle relish

paprika

salt + black pepper,

sauerkraut, warmed

rye bread

vegan butter, for toasting bread

Boil 2 cups of water and soak the cashews in it for at least 5 minutes. Discard the soaking water and add the cashews to a high powered blender along with 1 cup fresh water, wine, lemon juice, miso paste, salt and tapioca starch. Blend until very smooth.

Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it starts to clump. Keep stirring until suddenly it becomes one melty mass of cheese. Remove from heat immediately and cover until ready to assemble the sandwiches.

Make the Swiss cheese

In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil then add the onions and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the tempeh pieces and continue to cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Now add the soy sauce and paprika and stir to coat. Remove from heat.

Make the tempeh

Whisk all dressing ingredients in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.

Make the Russian dressing

Lightly butter one side of each piece of bread and toast for 1-2 minutes in a pan, until lightly golden brown.

Using the toasted bread, assemble each sandwich. Spread on some Russian dressing, top with tempeh mixture, then cheese and sauerkraut. Place another piece of bread on top, toasted side up. Serve immediately and enjoy.
