Prep time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serving size: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
Sauce
- 0.25 cup spicy mustard
- 1 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 large dill pickles finely diced
Crispy Onion Rings
- Several cups of extra virgin olive oil (for frying)
- 1 large Spanish onion sliced into rings
- 0.5 12-ounce bottle of dark beer
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup rice flour divided
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Contents
- 0.75 pounds pastrami heated
- 4 slices rye bread
- 0.5 cup sauerkraut rinsed and shaken dry
- Crispy onion rings

Directions
- Combine mustard, horseradish, and dill pickles.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Fill a bowl with ice water and put another bowl inside (this keeps gluten from forming and keeping the batter light and crispy).
- In the chilled bowl, whisk beer, flour, ½ cup rice flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper for the batter. Put the remaining ½ cup rice flour into a separate bowl.
- Hot the oil in a pan to 360°F. Put the onion rings in rice flour until fully coated and then dip them into the batter. Fry until golden bowl, place on the baking sheet, and sprinkle with salt.
- Slice 4 pieces of rye bread and spread the horseradish-mustard sauce.
- Layer with sauerkraut, hot pastrami, and onion rings. Top with another dollop of the horseradish-mustard sauce and the other slice of bread.
- Enjoy!
