¼ CUP (65 ML) Mayonnaise
3 TSP (15 ML) Chili sauce
1 Small pickle, finely chopped
A pinch salt
A pinch pepper
8 Slices whole-grain rye bread
4 Slices Emmental cheese
4 Slices havarti cheese
24 Thin sliced roast beef
24 Thin slices of your favorite smoked meat
2 CUPS (500 ML) Simple sauerkraut, wrung out
4 TSP (20 ML) Vegetable

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, chopped pickle, salt, and pepper.
Place 4 slices of bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with 1 tablespoon of the Russian sauce prepared in the previous step. Add to each slice of bread 1 slice Emmental, 1 slice Havarti, 6 slices roast beef, and 6 slices smoked meat. Divide the remaining Russian sauce among the 4 sandwiches. Top each sandwich with a slice of bread.
Heat half of the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick pan. Toast 2 sandwiches in the pan at a time, for 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining oil and sandwiches. Serve with the sliced pickles.
