Ingredients
200g pack Hellers Pastrami
4 slices of rye bread
4 slices Swiss cheese
1 cup sauerkraut – squeeze out excess brine
1 cup Thousand Island dressing + extra for serving
Dill pickles for serving
Butter
Large toothpicks
Method
Preheat grill
For the sandwich build:
Combine half of the dressing with the sauerkraut
Spread the remaining dressing onto all 4 slices of bread and then place one slice of cheese onto 2 slices of bread
Onto the other 2 slices of bread pile the meat high, then add the sauerkraut and finally top with a slice of cheese. Then grill all 4 slices of bread until the cheese has melted
Assemble the top and bottom to make 2 sandwiches and butter the outside on both sides
Heat a heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches, and fry until golden about 3 minutes. Flip, and fry again until golden, another 3 minutes
To make it easier secure the sandwich with a large toothpick and pop a few dill pickles on top as you do so
Serve with extra dressing and sliced gherkins on the side
