Step-by-step instructions

Step 1

Prepare Sauerkraut:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat apple cider vinegar and ½ cup of water in a pot. As it starts to boil, add sauerkraut pack and spice mix. Mix well, and bring back the boil. Cover and reduce the heat to simmer, 10-15 minutes. Drain excess liquid off.

Step 2

Toast Bread:

Halve focaccia lengthwise and place cut side up on a lined baking tray. Toast for 5 minutes in the oven.

Melt Cheese:

Remove bread from oven. Cut cheese slices in ½ and layer cheese on bread and place back in oven to melt for 5 minutes more.

Step 4

Layer Sandwich:

On the bottom half of the roll, layer pastrami then top with a generous portion of sauerkraut.

Step 5

You Plate It:

Top with as much dressing as desired. Smoosh the lid down on each sandwich and serve with some halved pickles. Enjoy!
