I came up with this creation during a run. I was hungry and knew I had a baked potato in the fridge, just waiting to dressed up with some goodness.
I knew I had some sauerkraut at home, and had been wanting to add it to a baked potato somehow. During the clarity that sometimes comes to me on a run, I thought of the wonderful tempeh rueben sandwich at my favorite sandwich shop back home (Yellow Sub)... maybe it was runger, we'll never know. I crafted this stuffed potato to be similar to that sandwich, and it is oh.so.good!
Rueben Stuffed Baked Potato
Ingredients
Baked Russet Potato
Sauerkraut (about 1/3-1/2 cup)
Tempeh (about 1/4 cup), diced

Cut open the baked potato and squish it open.
Ladle on the sauerkraut and tempeh mixture.
Place the cheese slice on top and microwave until melted.

ReplyDeleteHow clever! I should bake up some potatoes during the week to have in the fridge to make easy meals like this after running.
Oooh the tempeh would really add this. I love this twist on a reuben!
Thanks so much for sharing at Healthy Vegan Fridays - I'm pinning & sharing!
I come up with some of my best recipes while running b/c I'm always hungry then. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally showing this to my husband. He used to love rubens before going veg so I'm sure we'll give this a try!
I really enjoy having a few already baked potatoes on hand!
