Reuben Rolls

Originally, I created these for customers who didn’t want rye bread. But the word of their crunchy goodness got out, and now they are a standard item on the menu.

Ingredients

  1. 2 egg roll wrappers
  2. 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
  3. 1 teaspoon Russian dressing
  4. 1 slice Swiss cheese, cut in half
  5. 2 tablespoons sauerkraut
  6. 2 ounces pastrami, chopped
  7. Oil, for frying
  8. 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
  9. 1/4 cup ketchup
  10. 3 tablespoons red lumpfish caviar
  11. 1 tablespoon grated horseradish
  12. 1 teaspoon powdered onion
  13. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions

  1. Getting the correct amount requires some practice, so start with less filling then you think you need; too much, and you will have trouble keeping it sealed. Lay an egg roll wrapper on the countertop with a corner facing away from you. Across the middle, put a stripe of mustard, a stripe of Russian dressing and a half slice of Swiss cheese. Add 1 tablespoon sauerkraut and top with some chopped up pastrami. Using a pastry brush, wet all sides of the egg roll wrapper with the sauerkraut juice (lots more flavor than water). Fold the point facing you over all your goodies in the middle, then fold the sides over, making sure they are tucked in and sealed. Finally, roll this whole package toward the remaining point. You should now have a familiar egg roll shape. Repeat with the remaining wrapper and fillings.
  2. Deep-fry at 375 degrees F until golden brown. Cut on a bias and serve with a cup of Russian dressing for dipping.
  3. For the Russian dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, caviar, horseradish, powdered onion and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and keep refrigerated.
