Grilled Split Kielbasa Reubens With Warm Mustard Caraway Sauerkraut Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat griddle pan to medium-high heat.
• Heat small skillet over medium heat.
• Mix sauerkraut, beer or cider, and mustard in small skillet and simmer 10 minutes.
• Cut kielbasa into 4 portions and split sausage pieces in half, opening them up.
• Grill the sausages on hot griddle until crispy on both sides, about 7-8 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 out 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 sandwich on griddle until crispy.
• Cut and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
• Cut kielbasa crosswise into 4 long sections, then halve each section lengthwise. If using kosher salami, cut lengthwise into 8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices. Trim off skin if desired.
• Whisk together oil, mustard, horseradish, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified. Toss lettuce with half of vinaigrette and reserve remainder.
• Grill tops and bottoms of rolls on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, about 2 minutes total, then transfer, cut sides up, to a platter. Brush cut sides of top halves with remaining vinaigrette and mound salad on bottom halves.
• Grill sausage on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, 3 to 4 minutes total, then arrange on top of lettuce (2 pieces per sandwich) and cover with top halves of rolls. Cut sandwiches in half crosswise.
