Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 pound sack sauerkraut, drained
  • 1 cup beer or apple cider
  • 1/4 cup spicy brown grainy mustard
  • 2 sticks or 1 long folded link kielbasa or turkey kielbasa, 1 1/4 pounds
  • 1/4 stick butter, softened
  • 8 slices marble rye bread
  • 8 slices Emmentaler or other Swiss cheese, deli sliced
  • 1/2 cup sweet red pepper relish

Directions

Preheat a griddle pan to medium-high.heat.

Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Toast the seeds a couple of minutes then stir in sauerkraut, beer or cider, and mustard and simmer 10 minutes.

Cut kielbasa into 4 portions and split the sausage pieces in half across, opening them up. Grill the sausages on the hot griddle until crispy on both sides, about 7 to 8 minutes total. Wipe some of the grease off the griddle and drop heat to low.

Lightly butter 1 side of each slice of bread. Build butter-side-out sandwiches of grilled kielbasa, sauerkraut, and 2 slices of cheese; spread the top of each sandwich with red pepper relish before setting in place.

Grill the sandwiches on the griddle until crispy. Cut and serve.

    This was marvelous and so quick! Love the sauerkraut, even though I didn't have the caraway seeds. I will use them next time. I used turkey kielbasa. I made my won relish thanks to another post. Delish

    These were super good. I made with vegetarian kielbasa and I made my own roasted red bell pepper relish since I couldn't find any at the specialty food store. Just diced some jarred roasted piquillo peppers and garlic, threw in a bowl with honey, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt, mixed together then sauteed the whole mess until it thickened a bit (not all of the liquid evaporated but that ok because after cooking I stuck the relish in fridge to thicken while I made the kraut etc. I will make this again for sure, in fact my husband said this sandwich just replaced our old tempeh rueben stand by. Yum, delicious, you gotta try this, and don't leave out the relish, I think it totally makes the sandwich.

    I loved this! I didn't find the red pepper relish, so I used thousand island. I really liked the "meatiness" of biting into the Kielbasa. This is going into heavy rotation here.

    2nd review: I made this a second time with the red pepper relish. Lord have mercy, you MUST use the red relish! 6 stars? Made it after working a 12 hour shift and it made my day.
