A triple decker sandwich from Peru. A delicious combination of avocado, tomato and tofu “egg”.

Pronounced Sanguich Tree-pleh in Spanish. This Peruvian sandwich has three soft and fluffy bread slices, and two layers of creamy light filling. It’s an easy, tasty, and nutritious little sandwich that’s perfect for a quick lunch.

What’s in the Sandwich?

This is an “egg” sandwich, with sliced avocado and tomato. Traditionally in Peru the crust is cut off, but we find that wasteful and unnecessary. This is our vegan version of the recipe, we’ve replaced the hard boiled egg for tofu. Like in our tofu scramble recipe, in order to get that “eggy” flavor simply use black salt (AKA kala namak).

Ingredients

• tofu
• avocado
• tomato
• vegan mayo
• kala namak (black salt): this gives the tofu its “eggy” flavor

What Bread to Use

We love Dave’s Killer Bread, especially their white bread done right, but feel free to use whatever bread you enjoy. Make this sandwich gluten free by using gluten free bread.

How to Serve

• With a side of Peruvian canchitas, French fries, kale chips, pickles, crispy potato chips and/or olives.
• Enjoy with a light alcoholic beverage like tinto de verano or red wine sangria or an nonalcoholic drink such as Peruvian chicha morada.
• Or a refreshing kale salad!
