Whose Your Daddy? Amazing Tofu Reuben! You're welcome.

Mildly tweaked and modified recipe from:  The Sweet Life.

     One of my fondest memories of growing up on Long Island was the constant presence of the 45-50 diners in a 5 mile radius of my house.  My teen years consisted of greasy food, good friends and jukebox tunes such as "The Joker" and "Blackwater"playing in the background of incessant teenage chatter about nonsense.
     The Reuban, was a tried and true favorite of mine.  That glorious greasy sandwich oozing with fatty goodness.

 I can hardly think about it without remembering how fat my ass was as a result of it....

(roll image of a fat white girl ass....not my own...can't take credit for this one!)

  Clearly one of the first things I had to do when I changed my dietary ways was to figure out how in the world I could experience my teenage fixation with this delicious bohemouth once again.  Found this recipe on "The Sweet Life" blog, tweaked it, and here it is my friends.

Ingredients:

 2 slices of bread (I use Whole Foods wheat bread)

A shit load of sauerkraut (drained and squeezed within an inch of its little german life)
3 slices of tofu, about 1/4 inch thick each
salt and pepper
pinch/sprinkles of turmeric and chili powder

Reuben Sauce
1 heaping tbsp Earth Balance mayo
2  tsp ketchup 
1 tsp brown mustard
1/2 tsp sirracha  
2 tbsp dill pickle relish...bomb.

Directions:

1.  Mix all "Reuben Sauce" together into an amazing tanginess.  

2.  Spray pan with non-stick spay and heat on medium high heat.

3.  Take bread, spray each side with non-stick spray and heat until lightly browned on each side.  (put aside).

4.  Take tofu and heat one side until firm and browned.

5.  flip tofu and sprinkle side up with salt, chili powder and turmeric.

6.  Once tofu seems cooked on other side, flip again, season and let cook. Remove from heat.

7.  Now comes the building o' reuban.....first, spread some russian dressing on your grilled bread.

8.  lay out the pieces of tofu

9.  glob, and I mean glob the sauerkraut all over the sandwich like your life depended on it.

10.  spoon some more russian dressing on it to elicit that feeling of disgusting shame while eating.

11.  cut and enjoy....all 300 calories of it......you're welcome.  

 ok, now I think that my recipes/others recipes are amazing!!!  The pictures however, not so much.  Hope you can enjoy the yummy call of the reuben sandwich even more than me.  That god damned sandwich haunts my dreams.  Mother f-er.  Enjoy everyone!!!
