Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds cooked peeled beets (see Tip), very thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup

  • 1 tablespoon dill relish

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • 4 slices rye bread, toasted

  • ¾ cup sauerkraut, rinsed and squeezed dry

  • 4 ounces sliced Swiss cheese

Directions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high.

  2. Toss beets with oil, coriander, mustard seeds, cinnamon and allspice in a large bowl to coat. Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and hot sauce in a small bowl.

  3. Spread the sauce on one side of each slice of bread and place on a baking sheet. Top with the beets, sauerkraut and cheese.

  4. Broil the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Tips

Tip: Precooked beets are a time-saver and come already peeled, meaning less mess. You can find them in vacuum-sealed packages in the refrigerated produce section.

To make ahead: Refrigerate beets and sauce (Step 2) separately for up to 3 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
