A Kosher Deli Favourite : The Reuben Sandwich

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

A Reuben sandwich is usual fix-it-quick favorites. A Reuben is a grilled sandwich featuring corned beef on rye bread. The Reuben is a menu staple in Jewish-style delicatessens, but it’s not technically kosher because it combines meat and cheese. They are really delicious and easy to make and sometimes they are served with big bowls of steaming vegetable soup and dill pickles on the side.

Make a deli-style Reuben sandwich at home with this top-rated Reuben recipe. A traditional reuben sandwich consists of thinly sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye bread slathered with Russian or Thousand Island dressing.

How to Make a Reuben

Ingredients

  • 8 slices rye bread
  • ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 8 slices deli sliced corned beef
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions

  1. Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat.

  2. Spread one side of bread slices evenly with Thousand Island dressing. On four bread slices, layer one slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut, and a second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, dressing-side down. Butter the top of each sandwich.

  3. Place sandwiches, butter-side down on the preheated griddle; butter the top of each sandwich with remaining butter. Grill until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make reuben sandwiches at home:

1. Spread the dressing on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Assemble the sandwiches. Butter the top of each sandwich.
3. Place the sandwich butter-side down on the hot skillet or griddle.
4. Butter the other side. Flip when the bottom slice is golden brown.
5. Grill until both sides are golden brown.

Pair your Reuben with a pickle, potato chips, French fries, or one of these classic deli sides: Pasta Salad, Coleslaw or Tomato Soup.

ISRO’S Chandrayaan-3 Lands On The Moon’s South Pole

India’s Chandrayaan-3 has landed on the moon’s south pole, making India the first country to reach that region. The successful moon mission has made India the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface after the US, China, and the erstwhile Soviet Union. Parties and prayers were held with great fervour across the country ahead of the historic lunar touchdown. ISRO is live telecasting the landing event on its ISRO website. The Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched on July 14 from Sriharikota. The Vikram lander began its descent toward the moon surface at a velocity of 1.68 km per second. It then slowed down before beginning a powered vertical descent to the surface of the moon.

The real test of the mission began at the last leg of the landing. Prior to 20 minutes before landing, ISRO initiated Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS). It enabled Vikram LM to take charge and use its on-board computers and logic to identify a favourable spot and make a soft-landing on the lunar surface. Given the history of India’s second lunar mission, which failed during the last 20 minutes before landing, ISRO was extra-cautious this time in the process. Due to high risk to the spacecraft minutes before moon landing, the duration is dubbed by many as “20 or 17 minutes of terror”. During this phase, the whole process became autonomous, where Vikram lander ignited its own engines at the right times and altitudes.

The spacecraft’s Vikram lander made the soft landing at 6.04 PM (IST), ending the disappointment over the crash-landing of the Chandrayaan-2 lander four years ago. According to ISRO, the mission’s three objectives are to demonstrate a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface, to demonstrate a Rover roving on the Moon and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
