Chivito (sandwich)
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox prepared food
Chivito is the national dish of Uruguay.[1][2] It is a sandwich of sliced beefsteak (churrasco), mozzarella, ham, tomatoes, mayonnaise and black or green olives. A chivito commonly also includes bacon and fried or hard-boiled eggs. It is served in a bun, often accompanied by French-fried potatoes.[3][4] Other ingredients, such as red beets, peas, grilled or pan-fried red peppers, and slices of cucumber, may be added.[5][6]
In Argentine cuisine a similar sandwich is called lomito.
History
Chivito is the diminutive of chivo, goat, and means kid (young goat). In neighboring Argentina, chivito, barbecued kid, is a popular asado dish; it is reported that the Uruguayan chivito arose in Punta del Este, Uruguay, at a restaurant called "El Mejillón Bar" in 1946, when a woman[7][8][9] from northern Argentina ordered a sandwich of chivito for a hurried meal, expecting kid.[10] The restaurant owner, Antonio Carbonaro,[11] did not have this meat and used beef fillet steak instead.[12][13]
Variations
The Canadian chivito (in Spanish chivito canadiense) is a variation of the sandwich, with the addition of panceta.[14]
The chivito can be served as a platter rather than a sandwich (chivito al plato).[13] It is usually served with Russian salad or French fries.
