St. Patrick's Day Corned Beef Plus Sauerkraut Equals Sensational Reuben Sandwich
As millions of Americans plan their St. Patrick's Day celebrations, this recipe for the perfect Reuben sandwich is a mouthwatering way to finish off leftover corned beef, a St. Patrick's Day staple.
Bear Creek, Wis. (PRWEB) February 27, 2007 -- As millions of Americans revel in St. Patrick's Day celebrations, the maker of the country's leading Sauerkraut brands, Silver Floss® and Krrrrisp Kraut®, has the solution to corned beef leftovers - the perfect Reuben sandwich.
The Reuben combines grilled or toasted rye bread with the hearty flavor of corned beef, a St. Patrick's Day staple. Swiss cheese, sweet and tangy Thousand Island dressing, and crunchy Sauerkraut help make for a delectable sandwich.
"We're inundated with requests for Reuben sandwich recipes this time of year," said Ryan Downs, co-owner of Great Lakes Kraut Co. "Reuben fans also crave our recipes for Sauerkraut Reuben Balls, Reuben Pierogies, and Reuben Soup."
Reubens and other sandwiches are eaten at home more than any other entrée, according to a 2006 study by consumer trend researcher The NPD Group. More than one of nine homemade dinners includes a sandwich, the study said.
Tracing the Reuben's origin sparks emotionally charged debate. Some people say the first Reuben was created by Arnold Reuben, a Manhattan delicatessen owner; others credit Omaha grocer Reuben Kulakofsky. But there's no disputing that the Reuben's tantalizing taste is made mouthwatering with Sauerkraut, which is gaining its own fan base as a healthy food.
Recent scientific studies link the natural compounds in Sauerkraut to improved health and resistance to colon, lung, and breast cancer.
