How is the Thousand Island dressing made for this vegan Reuben?

The dressing is a simple blend of vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, and dill pickles, combined in a small bowl.

What makes the sauteed onions in this recipe so flavorful?

The onions are thinly sliced and cooked with garlic, bay leaves, paprika, caraway seeds, dried dill, salt, cider vinegar, tamari, and black pepper for a rich, savory depth.

What kind of bread is recommended and how is it prepared for the sandwich?

Eight slices of vegan rye bread are used, spread with vegan margarine on one side, and grilled margarine-side down for 3 minutes until toasted.

What are the key components for assembling Mayim Bialik's vegan Reuben?

Each sandwich is assembled by spreading the homemade dressing on the ungrilled bread, then layering with sauerkraut, two pieces of vegan bacon, and the spiced sauteed onions.

Can any parts of this vegan Reuben be prepared in advance?

Yes, both the Thousand Island dressing and the sauteed onions can be made ahead of time and stored, making assembly quicker when ready to eat.

How to Prepare Mayim Bialik’s Reuben Sandwich [Vegan]

To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl.
To make the onions, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the garlic, bay leaves, paprika, caraway seeds, dill, salt, vinegar, tamari, and pepper. Add the water and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated. Remove the bay leaves.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread two slices of the bread with margarine. Grill in a small skillet, margarine side down, for 3 minutes on one side only. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
To assemble each sandwich, spread the dressing on the ungrilled sides of two slices of toast. Add the sauerkraut, two pieces of vegan bacon, and the sautéed onions.

Not to be a downer, but the vegan bacon is made of tofu (poison to joints and thyroid gland and more), the vegan mayo has soy or canola oil (both poison), the ketchup has refined sugar (poison), and the vegan margarine has soy or canola or both. So, as a vegan, that is, as someone interested in health, this recipe goes straight into the garbage can! Have a healthy, well-researched day.

  I had to guess also. Since it said to cook down for 10 mins. until liquid evaporated, I used about 3/4 cup. That is sort of an estimate. Hope that helps!
