Rrs Reuben Balls Recipes

REUBEN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the brisket in a large pan with the pickling seasoning and enough water to fill the pan halfway. Cover and cook for 3 hours. Let cool partially, and then refrigerate to cool completely (for at least 3 hours total if you cut the brisket into pieces, or overnight if cooling it whole).
• Dice the brisket and puree in a food processor until a paste forms (some chunks are fine). Add the sauerkraut, cream cheese and Swiss cheese and mix well. Shape the mixture into little spheres the size of golf balls; set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, pour enough vegetable oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
• In three separate containers put the flour, buttermilk, and breadcrumbs mixed with parsley. Take a sphere and coat in the flour, dredge in the buttermilk and then coat in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining spheres. Fry in batches--making sure all the fritters are submerged--until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Serve the fritters with the Whole-Grain Honey Mustard Horseradish Dipping Sauce on the side.
• Mix together the mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, horseradish, whole-grain mustard, rice vinegar, dry mustard and granulated garlic in a large bowl.

THE REAL REUBEN

Steps:

• Place bread on baking sheet or broiling pan. Layer corned beef, sauerkraut and cheese on top of bread slices.
• Broil on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese has melted. Serve hot with Thousand Island dressing.

R&R'S REUBEN BALLS

Steps:

• Pour the canned sauerkraut into a colander, "drain" and "lightly rinse" under running water. (If using fresh kraut, you may not need to rinse, your choice). Using your hands, "squeeze" as much water out as possible. Place kraut on a cutting board, pat it "dry" with paper towels, and chop it up finely. (It is very important to do the "drain, rinse, squeeze and dry", otherwise they will not cook properly or be too tasty)!
• Crumble the canned corned beef into a large bowl, add the 2 cheeses, chopped up sauerkraut and dried onions. Using your hands, mix (smoosh) it all together (like your making a meatloaf). Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour, to let mixture get firm and the dried onions to soften.
• In the meantime, place 3 plates and 1 bowl on the counter to make an assembly station.
• Plate #1: flour, Bowl: milk, Plate #2: dried bread crumbs, Plate #3: just somewhere for your balls to hang out while waiting for the fry.
• When the meat has been chilled for about an hour and has firmed up a bit, start making BALLS! I usually try to do 1" size. Roll some in your hands, toss 'em in the flour, dunk them in the milk, roll thru the bread crumbs and set them on Plate #3! Easy peasy, but messy! Just be sure that each of these steps are completely covering your balls.
• This is where you can choose to fry them right away, or put them on cookie sheet and place in freezer for an hour, and let them freeze thru. Then toss them all in zip-lock baggies to use as a "when needed" basis. Just be sure to let them rest on the counter from freezer to fry (DO NOT try to defrost in microwave).
• Frying: Heat up the oil over med-high heat.The oil should be hot enough to make a pinch of the flour we used bubble. (I never use a thermo, I always just guess at the temperature. One sacrificial ball goes in at the start of the fry)! Depending on the size of your pot of oil, DO NOT over-crowd it, or the oil temp will drop, and you will end up with very greasy balls (that is why I test one first). Make batches at a time. They will stay hot for a very long time. Fry for approx 1 - 2 mins, turning with a slotted spoon, until the coating gets browned (DO NOT burn them, they will taste "icky" then)! Place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• I serve these with cups of Thousand Island dressing (or Russian) for a dipping sauce, but I don't eat the balls with either. Plain is fine by me! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.

REUBEN MEATBALL SLIDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix the beef, cheese, breadcrumbs, caraway seeds, salt, pepper, eggs and parsley in a bowl until uniform but not overworked. Scoop out a 1/4 cup of the mix and roll into a ball. Repeat to use all of the meat.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat add the oil. Fry the first side of the meatballs, in batches if necessary, until golden and crusty, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and place in the oven to finish cooking, until no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 15 more minutes.
• Sandwich Build: Heat the kraut in a small saucepot and mix in the 1000 island. Place a meatball on the bottom slider bun, top with the kraut/sauce mixture, top and skewer. Enjoy with all your closest and most respected friends.

MOM'S CLASSIC REUBEN

Steps:

• Spread margarine onto one side of each slice of bread. Set a large skillet over low heat, and lay 6 bread slices in it with the butter side down. If you can't fit 6, just fry in batches of 3.
• Place slices of cheese onto the bread in the skillet and let cook until the cheese starts to melt. Place slices of corned beef and chicken over the cheese, and then sauerkraut. Spread the creamy dressing onto the dry sides of the remaining slices of bread. Place dressing side down onto the sandwiches.
• Increase the heat to medium, and cook until browned on the bottom. Turn sandwiches over, and cook until golden on the other side.

REUBEN BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
• Combine the corned beef, ground pork, sauerkraut, eggs, Swiss cheese, bread, salt, and caraway seeds in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
• Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
• Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
• Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

REUBEN EGG ROLLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface oriented like a diamond. Lay 5 cheese rectangles (about ½ a slice) in the center of the wrapper, then top with 1½ ounces of corned beef, 1½ tablespoons of sauerkraut, ⅛ teaspoon caraway seeds, and another 5 cheese rectangles.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg wash. Fold the bottom of the wrapper up and over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll to seal. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 8 egg rolls total.
• Fill a medium pot halfway with oil and heat over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• While the oil is heating, make the Russian dressing: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, onion, garlic, Sriracha, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, paprika, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Fry the egg rolls, 2-3 at a time, in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally to brown evenly. Transfer to the wire rack and season immediately with salt.
• Serve the egg rolls hot with the Russian dressing for dipping.
• Enjoy!
