Top Chef Michael Voltaggio, of Ink.Sack restaurant in Los Angeles, is known to experiment with modern techniques in his kitchen. However, he shared this quick and easy recipe with us—a shortcut version of actual sauerkraut, which takes several days or more to ferment. He puts it on his beef tongue Reuben, along with Swiss or gruyère and a drizzle of housemade Russian dressing.
