Sloppy rooBender reuben sandwich

The season is changing, so how about trying a new variation on something old? The Reuben is a favorite and it inspired the following sandwich. Now, this isn't entry level finger food -- it's vegan, a bit sloppy, and most kids won't like it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cake extra firm tofu
  • 1 cup sweet teriyaki marinade
  • 2 tablespoons vegan mayo. I use nayonaise but any will do, probably even canola mayo
  • 1 tablespoon relish
  • 1 tablespoon hot pesto or chutney
  • 1 small yellow squash (which is widely available this time of year)
  • 2 slices light rye bread

Preparation:

  • Cut tofu into 1/8th inch slabs. Put in a zip-top bag with teriyaki sauce and let marinate all day
  • Fry tofu in sesame oil as long as possible until crispy, without burning.
  • Bake the squash (this tutorial can answer any questions you have on squash and how to prepare it)
  • Mix the vegan mayo, relish and pesto together
  • Put half the mix on the lower toasted piece of rye
  • Arrange tofu as you like, spread remaining sauce (again you be the judge on how much and how strong) and drizzle a little of the marinade over top
  • Finish by scraping a couple tablespoons of meat from a squash half and stringing it over the whole mess, add your lettuce and top it off with the other piece of rye
Aside from letting the tofu marinate and baking the squash, this sandwich is quick, easy, and got two thumbs up from a discriminating vegan.
