While the origin of this beloved sandwich is clouded with mystery, it’s a documented fact that in 1956 the Reuben won the National Sandwich Idea Contest, and as the saying goes, the rest is history. For our version of this classic sandwich, we’ve mixed caraway seeds in with the sauerkraut as a nod to the rye bread traditionally used. Not a fan of corned beef? Make this pork chop Rachel style with roasted turkey and coleslaw subbed in for the sauerkraut.
Note: This recipe requires Suvie 2.0 and the Suvie Starch Cooker. To prepare this dish in Suvie 1.0, set the farro to cook for 35 minutes in Step 3. Follow remaining instructions as directed.

Should this have been 3.5 hours sou vide? Pork chops were 118 degrees after the broil and seemed raw.
Hi Annie, the settings for Sous Vide are 2 hours at 140°F. The preheat and cook time is 3 hours and 30 minutes. After 2 hours the pork chops should be temping at 140°F. I’d recommend reaching out to our help desk to see if there might be an issue with your appliance. The address is Help@Suvie.com
Thanks, Caroline. I’ve contacted the help desk to see.
