Mary Q
I am a HUGE fan of the TTLA sandwich that they sell at Whole Foods, so when I saw this recipe, I definitely had to make it! I am very impressed with the way the tempeh turned out. It tastes just like the one they use at Whole Foods!! I love the addition of pickles in this recipe as I usually don’t order those in my sandwich when I buy it, but it was a great addition. Love this sandwich and will definitely be adding it to my weekly rotation!!
