We made this recipe out of a combination of desperation and frugality. I was going to purchase some Sauerkraut to add to the Vegan Reuben but could not find any or the one I did find was so expensive I just couldn't justify it. So we made a quick style version of this classic and it turned out great. If you have the time, space and equipment, you should go for the fermented version but if you're in a pinch like we were, this Quick Sauerkraut Recipe is delicious and easy to make.
