A sanguchón (big sandwich) is the late-night snack of choice for Lima’s party people. It’s a sandwich filled with lettuce, tomato, a burger, grilled cheese slices, a fried egg, string potatoes, and several sauces and dressings. It may sound like a total bomb, especially so late at night, but it´s reinvigorating after spending many hours on the dance floor. This is a vegetarian rendition of this voluptuous meal.
2 slices of bread
½ tomato, thinly sliced
1 lettuce leaf
1 slice of cheese
1 fried egg
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon ketchup
½ teaspoon ají amarillo paste
1. Grill or toast the bread, with the cheese on top of one of the slices.
2. Top one of the slices with tomato, lettuce, the fried egg, salt, pepper, and all the sauces.
3. Cover with the other slice, and serve.
You can make a vegan version of this sandwich by leaving out the cheese and egg, and adding a vegan burger instead.
