About the dish

Pan con relleno is a traditional sandwich originating from Peru. The key ingredient in the sandwich is relleno, a typical Peruvian blood sausage that can be replaced with any type of blood sausage. In order to prepare the sandwich, yellow chili peppers are sautéed in oil with the pork relleno, mint, and sugar. The combination is seasoned with salt and pepper, then cooked on low heat. Sweet potatoes are sautéed in a separate pan in oil until very crisp. Finally, the sweet potato slices and the relleno mixture are tucked into a split bread roll and the sandwich is ready to be enjoyed.
