I've eaten a lot of salt beef sandwiches in my life: fat heavy
numbers from Baker Street cafes that I could barely get my sizeable
jaw around, midnight bagels in taxis passing through Brick Lane, New
York food trucks, and supermarket pretenders that didn't quite hit
the spot but were better than not having one at all.

This is the undisputed king of all sandwiches, so I set about trying
to create a vegan version that would be just as delicious in its own
right, while staying as faithful as possible to the original. ... The
result is crisp but tender, dry enough but with a juicy bite and a
tangy, salty, peppery familiarity, something that's equally at home
in a toasted white bagel as a hunk of dark, sweet rye bread.

First drain your jackfruit through a fine-mesh sieve. Squeeze the
excess liquid using your hands to push it against the sieve, until
the fruit feels fairly dry, then pop it into a large mixing bowl.

Finely grate the beetroot over the top. Add the vinegar, salt &
pepper, paprika, and oil. Break up the jackfruit with a fork or spoon
into tiny shreds so the marinade soaks right in. Leave for an hour in
the fridge.

Meanwhile, make your dressing. Place the dill pickle in a small bowl
with the onion. Add the Vegan mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish or
mustard, and hot sauce, and stir well to combine. Put it in the
fridge until required.

When the jackfruit is well marinated, tip it into a large non-stick
frying pan. I prefer to do mine in a wok, but that's because I like
the space to shove it all around a bit. A normal frying pan will do
just fine. Add a splash of oil and cook on a high heat for a few
minutes until it starts to sizzle, then reduce to a medium heat and
cook for 15 to 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally to disturb it.
You want the jackfruit to be slightly crisp at some of its edges,
with a dry-but-juicy texture to imitate the salt beef.

Toast your bread--whether a bagel or rye bread--lightly on both
sides. Now you need to move quickly. Smother the base layer with your
jackfruit. Pile it high. Add sauerkraut, pickles, and "cheese". Top
with dressing. Pop the other slice on top. Halve it if you please--I
prefer not to. Devour, over a plate, to catch all that will
inevitably plop out the other side as soon as you take a bite. If
it's not leaking, it's not full enough. There is no gracious way to
eat this, you just have to get on with it! And enjoy.
