Shooter’s Sandwich: Mushrooms and Kale With Homemade Horseradish-Dijon Sauce

The shooter's sandwich is a popular British dish that got its name from the fact that is a sort of portable Wellington. Between two crispy slices of bread is traditionally steak, mushrooms, horseradish, and mustard. The sandwich is pressed overnight so that once cut into, nothing falls out. In this healthier veganized version, mushrooms and kale are the base of the sandwich that is then topped it with crunchy cucumber slices and slathered it with horseradish-Dijon sauce.
