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!
