The secret to a great Ruben

I have an unusual talent for making damned good approximations of cheap Chinese takeaway and the  coronary special from your local greasy spoon. I make said food for carnivores and vegans alike, and boy do I make a damn good Ruben.

The secret is in the sauce for sure and I get the best results from using the veganaise pesto mayo. Here's the recipe, feel free to make yours with critters:

Kick ass Ruben

Get yo'self two slices of some good kosher rye bread. Spread some butter or equivalent (earth balance) on both sides. Place in a pan until golden brown.* Flip 'em and add sauce on one side, cheese or equivalent on the other side, then load up on light life bacon (that you pre-cooked), and some sauerkraut. Assemble the sandwich. Heat on either side until golden brown, warm throughout, and nice and melty.
If it's done on both sides but not gooey yet, pop it in the microwave until the cheese melts.

* About now is the time to make the sauce:

Pesto mayo (or plain)
Ketchup
Relish
