When we scour the globe for recipe inspiration, our vegan cooking suddenly becomes much more exciting. As is the case with this incredibly delicious mushroom reuben sandwich.
What is a reuben sandwich?
The reuben sandwich originates from North America and traditionally featured layers of corned beef with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and a Russian dressing.
We’ve adapted the recipe slightly to make this a vegan lunchtime showstopper, but none of the flavour is lost as spicy mushrooms replace the corned beef alongside pickled red cabbage, dairy-free cheese and vegan-style Russian dressing.
Is cider vinegar good for you?
Cider vinegar, otherwise known as apple cider vinegar, is made from apple juice that has added yeast and bacteria to start the fermentation to make it a vinegar.
It is believed to have health benefits including weight loss and prevention of infection.
Some people suggest drinking a small amount daily, diluted in water.

- To make the Russian dressing, add all the dressing ingredients to a blender and mix until emulsified and a smooth thick dressing is formed.
- Add the mushrooms, paprika, mustard powder, thyme, garlic salt and olive oil to a bowl and mix to coat the mushrooms with the spices. Then heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes until cooked.
- To make the sandwich, butter the 6 slices of rye and heat a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bread butter-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden and toasted. Then on a slice of rye, layer a slice of dairy-free cheese, mushrooms, pickled cabbage, and a spoonful of Russian dressing, and finish with a second slice of rye.
