         1 sm Red beet; cooked   
         1 ts Vinegar; any clear kind   
         1 ts Salt   
         1 ts Black pepper   
       1/2 ts Smoked paprika

         1 ts Onion; finely chopped   
         2 tb Vegan mayonnaise   
         2 tb Ketchup   
         1 ts Horseradish or   
              - English mustard   
         1 ds Hot sauce   
      
   MMMMM--------------------------TO SERVE-------------------------------   
         2    Bagels; sliced -OR-   
         4 sl Rye bread   
              Sauerkraut   
              Dill pickles; thinly sliced   
         2 sl Smoked vegan "cheese"   
       
     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.
