Notes
Recipequantity:Makes enough for 5 sandwiches, Homemade Pastramimakes 1.4kg / 2.8lb which is more than needed for this recipe (leftovers is always a good thing).
1. Pastrami (see Easy Homemade Pastrami) - please don't even think about making this recipe with store bought slices! It is nothing like slow cooked homemade pastrami with a fresh pastrami spice crust that's warm and fall-apart tender! (PS Some Reuben sandwiches are made with plain corned beef. Homemade pastrami is a zillion times better, made famous by Katz's Deli in NYC)
Easier to slice when cool/cold, it crumbles if you try to slice when hot. That's why we need to slice when cold then reheat in the cooking juices.
2. Caraway seeds - not normally included in sauerkraut. But it works really well to add an extra something-something to compensate for this being a quick sauerkraut rather than one that's been left to ferment for days. Idea from Rick Stein! Optional.
3. Russian Dressing is usually made with spicy ketchup which isn't a readily available ingredient. Sriracha works a treat as a sub, otherwise, use ketchup + tabasco to taste. It's like a spicier version of Thousand Island Dressing - should be mildly spicy mayo with a touch of sour from the horseradish paste and chilli sauce. Recipe adapted from: Epicuriousand Serious Eats
