How to make a Reuben
In my opinion, there’s not much better than a reuben sandwich. Corned beef, swiss, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing on marbled rye is a perfect combo, but where did the sandwich come from. Some say the sandwich was created in NYC by Arnold Reuben at his delicatessen Reuben’s in 1914. Others say the legendary sandwich came from a hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1928. It is so popular in Nebraska that March 14th is National Sandwich Day in Omaha.
Ingredients
- corned beef thinly sliced
- Swiss cheese thinly sliced
- sauerkraut
- rye or pumpernickel bread
- Kerry Gold Irish butter
- thousand island dressing
Instructions
- Melt a little butter in a sauté pan. Add in slices of corned beef and brown for a couple minutes a side.
- Separately, top the bread slices with Swiss cheese.
- Top with the corned beef and sauerkraut. Place another slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut.
- Melt a 1/2 tbsp of butter on a griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the pan. Grill for 4 minutes.
- Add another 1/2 tbsp of butter to the pan. Flip the sandwich and grill for 4 more minutes.
Steel Cut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Steel Cut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
These aren’t your normal oatmeal cookies. Instead of using regular rolled oats, I used instant steel cut oats. They change the consistency of the cookie; almost having a likeness to granola bars. It is very important to use instant steel cut oats instead of regular ones that require lots of cooking. If you use the wrong ones, you will have gravel cookies. Nobody wants gravel cookies. I also added some chocolate chips and walnuts to the cookie dough because I like chocolate and nuts in my cookies. And 420 butter. Can’t forget that. The cookies only take 12 minutes to bake in 2 separate batches, yielding 2 dozen cookies.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup 420 butter or regular butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups instant steel cut oats or regular rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Mix together the butter, brown and white sugars.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir in the oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop ping pong sized clumps of the cookie dough on the baking sheet; spacing a couple inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes.
420 Butter
Caution when consuming this. This butter is extremely strong. I put a melon ball sized scoop in my Potato Poblano soup I was eating and was fucked up for 18 hours.
Equipment
- Ardent Nova Decarboxylator
- Magic Butter machine
Ingredients
Decarboxylation
- 1 oz greens, stems and all
The Butter
- 1 oz decarboxylated greens
- 1 lbs unsalted butter
Instructions
Decarboxylation
- Using the Ardent Nova Decarboxylator, add your greens. Don’t break up the buds. Leave in any extra stems. You want to use everything. This machine only holds 14 grams, so you’ll have to do this process in 2 batches.
The Butter
- Using the Magic Butter machine, add all of the greens and 1lb of butter. I let the butter sit out for half a day to soften to room temp.
- Put the cover on the Magic Butter machine. Set the settings to Butter, 160 degrees. This will take about 2 hours to make. Let the magic happen.
- After the 2 hours are up, let sit for a couple of minutes. This butter is very hot.
- Strain the butter through the mesh butter trainer that came with your Magic Butter machine. Make sure to wear the food gloves that came with the machine. You are going to want to squeeze out as much of the butter as possible from the greens.
- Save in a container. Keep in the fridge. If you aren’t going to use all of the butter within a month, keep it in the freezer.
Pita Chips
Pita Chips
Once you make pita chips on your own, you will never buy packaged ones again. All you have to do is cut pita bread into 8 pieces, toss with olive oil and seasonings, and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Once the pita chips are finished baking, they will need to cool completely to crisp up.
Ingredients
- 4 pita bread
- olive oil
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- salt
Instructions
- Cut the pita bread into 8 pieces.
- Toss the pita with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pita on the baking sheet.
- Bake the pita for 15 minutes, flipping half way through. Let the pita chips completely cool before serving.
