Brunch again at Cafe Indigo this morning with my friend Scott. Excellent as always. They had the chocolate cupcakes back! Mmmm…
I’m still going through their main dish selections, and picked the vegan reuben this time. Scott liked it so much on his first visit that he couldn’t make himself choose something new!
It was indeed delicious. And messy. At least a two-napkiner. 
Known to the regulars as “The Rachel,” here’s how they describe it on the menu,
“…made with our own seitan, homemade cold slaw and Cafe Indigo secret sauce. Served on rye bread with a side of lemon rosemary roasted potatoes.”
I really like it with the seitan — by far some of the softest, most subtly spiced I’ve ever tried, and I’ve made a lot of variations in my day.
There was a little vegetarian place “on the corner” in the town where I used to live (it’s now a tattoo parlor or hair salon or something) that prepared it with grilled tempeh, so that’s the way I’ve always made it.
How about you? Got a favorite a vegan reuben recipe? Leave a comment with all the juicy details.
That looks delicious! Reminds me I have to try seitan. It’s one of those foods that scares me. Haha!
