Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Wash the tomatoes, deseed them and cut them into small dice. Season with salt and a drizzle of lime juice.
  2. Mash the avocado flesh with a fork with the juice of half a lime and a pinch of salt, to get a rough purée.
  3. Heat the sausages in a pan of simmering water for 5 minutes, or brown them in a dry pan, rolling them so they colour evenly.
  4. Open the buns without cutting them all the way through. Warm them briefly in the oven for 2 minutes at 180 °C so they're soft.
  5. Place a sausage in each bun, then top with the tomatoes, avocado purée and mayonnaise. Add sliced onions if you want the "italiano" version, and a pinch of sweet pepper.
  6. Serve straight away, hot, with a napkin to hand: a completo is eaten with the hands.

Variations and tips

Italiano version. Add sliced white onions and diced tomato: the red, white and green colours recall the Italian flag, which is where the name comes from.

Using what's easy to find. If you don't have special soft buns, use small milk rolls and add a little water to the mayonnaise to make it looser.
