The Tempeh Reuben Sandwich has a rich history, originating as a vegetarian twist on the classic Reuben sandwich. This plant-based delight features marinated and grilled tempeh, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, all sandwiched between slices of rye bread. The dish gained popularity in the 1970s as a healthier alternative to the traditional Reuben. Chefs and restaurants across the United States, particularly in health-conscious regions like California and the Pacific Northwest, have put their own spin on this beloved sandwich. Today, the best versions can be found in trendy cafes and vegetarian eateries, where the key is getting the tempeh perfectly marinated and grilled to achieve that irresistible smoky flavor.
