Uruguayan Chivito Sandwich Recipe

Next stop on our itinerary is in Uruguay!

According to the legend, one day a great chef in Punta del Este, Uruguay, had an Argentine lady walked into a beach-side restaurant and requested a sandwich, specifying it should be made with cheviot, grilled baby goat, the kind she could get back home.

But the chef was faced with a big problem…he had no goat meat in the kitchen, but he wanted to satisfy his customer. As Uruguay is home to some of the world’s best grass-fed beef, he quickly grilled a thin slice of steak, then layered it in a freshly baked roll, adding tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise.. And the chivito was born! It is now found everywhere in Uruguay.

This recipe could not be simpler. Just fry or boil the eggs, grill the bacon and steak and add the rest of the ingredients, for the most delicious sandwich your mouth has ever tasted. As the Uruguayans say, delicious!

Don’t forget to add ketchup and mayonnaise – a mix known as ‘salsa golf’ in South America.
