I just to Papa G's in Portland, OR for the first time, and had their Tempeh Reuben. It was delicious. This week, I took a stab at making it at home, and it turned out marvelously. My boyfriend ate 2 sandwiches! I served this recipe with oven roasted brussel sprouts and shallots, tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with s/p, crushed red pepper flakes, and 21 seasoning blend from Trader Joe's.

1) The Vegan 1000 Island Sauce (this makes enough for 3 sandwiches):
-3 Tbls of Veganese
-1 Tbls of Ketchup
-2 Kosher Dill Pickes, Finely Diced
-2 Tsps of Cayenne Pepper
-2 Drops of Secret Ardvark Sauce (your favorite hot sauce will do)
-Pinch of S/P

2) Toashed Rye bread (spread with Earth Balance)

3) Warmed Saurkraut

4) 4-6 Strips of Lemon Pepper Tempeh, or your favorite tempeh flavor

*Put all ingredients between the rye bread, this takes less than 20 minutes to make with the roasted brussel sprouts. A great weeknight meal.
