The Shawnee Marina Reuben Sandwich Recipes

THE SHAWNEE MARINA REUBEN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Brush the melted butter on all four sides of the bread. In a large pan or skillet, brown two sides of the bread over medium heat and set aside.
• Add 1/2 of the celery salt to the thousand island dressing and taste. If you like more, add the rest. Set aside.
• In the same pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sautee the pastrami, the corned beef and, the sauerkraut without mixing them with each other. At the end of 3 minutes, put the meat and kraut on a plate and set aside.
• Over low heat, put an unbrowned (buttered) bread side down in the pan. Layer on the corned beef, pastrami, kraut, Alpine Lace cheese (Alpine Lace is a very mild, wide Swiss Cheese -- substitute Baby Swiss if you can't find it at the grocery), and jalapeno cheese. (Since the jalapeno cheese usually comes in small square slices, that's why you need 1 1/2 slices. The Alpine Lace should be roughly the same width of the bread).
• On the remaining slice of bread, on the browned side, spread the horseradish sauce. Drizzle the thousand island dressing directly on the sandwich and place the horseradish side of the bread DOWN as to mix with the dressing.
• As soon as the bottom of the sandwich browns, carefully flip it over and brown the final side.
• When the bottom of the sandwich is browned, plate it up and cut it in half, on the diagonal. Garnish the plate with the gherkins and the orange slices.

CABBAGE DOGS (HOT DOGS)

Steps:

• In a large no-stick skillet, over medium heat, pour in the olive oil and after it begins to shimmer (about 2 minutes), add all other ingredients except for the water. Carefully blend the ingredients with a large spoon.
• Saute for five minutes uncopvered. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and allow the blend to continue cooking until the cabbage and onions are tender. Stir occassionally. (Five minutes after the skillet is first covered, add the water and continue cooking until the vegetables tenderize and until most of the water evaporates -- you can crack the lid just a bit to make this happen faster.)
• The total cooking time covered is about 10-15 minutes.
• Place weiner pieces on a bun and top with the cooked cabbage and onions. Add a little mustard to the hot dog if you wish, and serve.
• NOTE: You can actually double or triple the number of hot dog pieces in this mix if you're feeding a crowd. There will be plenty of cabbage for the toppings. Also adjust the hot pepper sauce, adding more or less, to meet your family's personal tastes. Using Tabasco instead of Frank's brand pepper sauce will make it twice as hot.

TERIYAKI SHRIMP MARINADE

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients.
• Marinate 16-24 large, raw, deveined, THAWED shrimp for 1-2 hours in refrigerator prior to grilling.
• NOTE: You can reserve a portion of the marinade to brush on while grilling if you wish.

POLISH SAUSAGE SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a no-stick skillet, add the cooking oil and the butter, allowing it to melt over medium heat.

• Pour the beer into the mix and allow it to come to a boil.
• Lower the heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered.
• Serve on croissant rolls or bagels. Add condiments as you wish, such as hot mustard.

CELERY AND PEANUT BUTTER
