I still remember the first time I walked into Sarge’s Deli on the East Side and asked for a Ruben without the meat. The waitress did a double take and I think it was the manager that came over to make sure the order was correct. It was delicious and just the way I wanted it! After discovering Farmhouse culture's Dill Pickle Sauerkraut about six years ago at my local farmer's market, I started making my own ruben in California. They were so yummy my friends and family loved them. The tricky part was finding a good rye bread on the West Coast. The closest bread I can find to New York style Rye is from the Acme Bread Company. This recipe is quick and easy. Although the traditional ruben sandwich is made with Russian dressing, I prefer a thousand island. In this recipe I made a raw vegan thousand island dressing using almonds. I know the go to ingredient for vegan cream sauces is cahsews but a good friend of mine couldn't have cashews because it could interfere with the medical treatment she was receiving. That's when I started trying to use almonds more than cashews and it works! You just have to add some water to the recipes and you can still achieve a creamy consistency.   INGREDIENTS: Fresh rye bread with seeds from a local bakery. Farmhouse Culture Kraut Garlic Dill Pickle flavor (Available across the nation, I found some in NY too!) Roasted Cauliflower Steak with Pastrami Rub: 2tsp Crushed Coriander 1 tsp Ground mustard seeds 1 tsp Brown mustard seeds 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp paprika salt and pepper to taste   I washed and sliced a cauliflower from the farmer’s market. I placed the steaks in a cast iron skillet grill and placed it in the oven on 375 until it was tender. If it browns too quickly you can cover it. Thousand Island Dressing: 1 cup almonds soaked overnight 1/2-3/4 cup of water 1/2 cup red bell pepper 1/3 cup relish 3T olive oil 2T tomato paste 2 tsp ground mustard seeds (I used yellow) 11/2tsp garlic powder 1tsp white vinegar 1/4tsp onion powder 1/4tsp salt 2 splashes of hot sauce Optional: 1T nutritional yeast   First I combined all of the dry ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. If you are making more than two pieces of cauliflower, you may want to double the recipe. You can store and save any left over rub for future use. I walked and cut the cauliflower into steaks. I dipped the edges of each slice in olive oil, than dipped it in the dry pastrami rub that I had sprinkled on a plated. I placed it in the oven on a cast iron grill skillet and let it bake. I use my stainless steel frying pan lids to cover it after about 15 minutes so the cauliflower wouldn’t be too crispy. I find the longer the dressing sits the better it tastes, so you can make this ahead of time if you desire. It usually lasts in my refrigerator in a sealed jar for about 5 days or so. I soaked the almonds for about two days prior to making this particular recipe because I didn’t have the time I thought I was going to have to cook. I left them covered in the refrigerator and changed the water daily. The key to using almonds in this recipe to make it creamy, is the water and olive oil. You may find that you need to add a little more than I suggested to get the creamy consistency you are looking for. Combine all ingredients for the dressing in a small food processor and refrigerator in a sealed container until ready to use. When your cauliflower is almost tender, place your bread in a toaster. Spread the dressing, place cauliflower, top with Farmhouse Culture Garlic Dill Pickle kraut and serve. Trust me, the Garlic Dill Pickle kraut is what makes this delicious so if you can find it in a grocery store near you buy it! A good rule to remember is that you never want to heat your kraut because it will kill off the good bacteria.

I store each ingredient in separate containers and put it together during the week. I even eat it for breakfast! I usually leave any frozen vegetables frozen, until I'm ready to pack it for work. My 7 year old son loves it! In fact, last time I made it for his grandparents he said "Mmmmm, This is soooo good!" 1 Cup Cooked Quinoa 1 Cup Black Beans (I cook my own from the bulk section) 1 Cup of Frozen Corn (or other vegetables available like cauliflower or spinach) 1-2 Avocados chopped (only chop right before serving) A few pickled jalapeños Melissa's Red Pepper Sauce: 1 16oz jar of Roasted Red Peppers (Or you can roast your own) 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 Tablespoon of Pine Nuts 1 Clove of Garlic Black pepper to taste Himalayan Salt to taste Optional sauce ingredients: 1-2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast flakes OR 1-2 teaspoons of parmesan cheese (Dairy version or vegan version)   DIRECTIONS: Making the Bowl: 1. I cook my black beans in a crockpot the night before or during the day while I'm at work. Of course you can use a can of rinsed black beans. I prefer the buying my beans in the bulk section to reduce packaging waste, plus they are cheaper! If using a can, heat the beans after the quinoa is ready. 2. Cook the quinoa. Since I shop in the bulk section, there usually aren't any instructions. The rule of thumb is to boil double the amount of water than your quinoa. So since I'm cooking 1 cup of dry quinoa, I boil 2 cups of water. I add the quinoa and let it simmer covered for about 15 minutes or so until all of the water is absorbed and the quinoa is soft. Don't forget to stir occasionally while it's simmering. While the quinoa is cooking, make Melissa's red pepper sauce(Instructions below). 3. Cut the avocado or any other vegetables you might add like cauliflower, etc... 3. If using any frozen vegetables like corn, heat in a pan after the quinoa and beans are ready. I usually heat the beans and any frozen vegetables in the same pan to save on the amount of dishes to clean up. 4. Assemble: I make each bowl up as needed. So if I have 4 guests, I'll server completed bowls to each person. For one serving, place about 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa in a bowl. Add a small portion(about 2-3 spoonfuls each) of the black beans, corn, avocado. Add some red pepper sauce on top. Add a few jalapeños on top and it's ready to serve!   MELISSA'S RED PEPPER SAUCE: 1. Empty jar of roasted red peppers in a strainer and let oils drain. 2. Blend red peppers, garlic, pine nuts and oil in a mini food processor. I use the magic bullet because it is small enough to blend all of the ingredients together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Try it! See if it tastes good. If it does, stop there. 3. If you want more nutritional benefits, start by adding one teaspoon of nutritional yeast OR parmesan cheese and blend. Do not add both the yeast and the cheese, pick one. Taste it, and either stop there if you like the taste, or add a little more but not more than 2 teaspoons.   TIPS and TRICKS: Want a thicker sauce, use less olive oil. Store ingredients in separate containers and enjoy all week!           https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/category/dairy-free monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/category/Italian+food monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/category/pasta monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/category/Quick+Meals monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/category/vegan monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/dairy-free monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/Mexican+Summer+Squash monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/home-grown+vegetables monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/thyme monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/summer monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/gluten-free monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/burrito+bowl monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/tomatoes monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/pizza monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/pita+bread monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/squash monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/peas monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/black+beans monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/Hummus+Guy monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/pasta monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/garbanzo+beans monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/chick+peas monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/organic monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/plant-based+ricotta+cheese monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/arugula monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/oregano monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/tomato+sauce monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/vegan+cheese monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/vegan monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/The+Hummus+Guy monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/quinoa monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/red+pepper+sauce monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/macaroni monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/plant-based monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/garden monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/recipes/tag/gluten-free+option monthly 0.5 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/home-foster daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1476294512753-2XEUUMCQD9UAXP45WD6M/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1475176245085-QUU56HIMX20PMMS38VLY/foster-juice-full-v3.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1475094647199-BTSXAL89DIEEN8PUE5EJ/foster-juice-our-roots-v2.jpg Home https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/shop-gallery-foster daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1475176520968-CN69R78CM7O2W6OL55LX/orange.jpg Shop Gallery - Orange Juice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1475176520968-CN69R78CM7O2W6OL55LX/orange.jpg Shop Gallery - Orange Juice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1475176535639-D7AF7SDE9W2NKGTGX3ZH/carrot.jpg Shop Gallery - Carrot Juice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5794fb301b631bb13257714c/1475176549236-4ZN5MYZNL09PHU079C59/vanilla.jpg Shop Gallery - Vanilla Chai https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/about daily 0.75 2022-05-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5975f4a1197aea04d1d613b4/1500929141249-R863QZNLJHKERDUGHERD/IMG_3948.JPG About https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/contact daily 0.75 2017-09-02 https://www.gingerandtabasco.com/new-page daily 0.75 2025-05-12
