Chivito (sandwich)
Chivito is a type of sandwich that originated in Uruguay. The name "chivito" translates to "little goat" or "kid" in English, which is a reference to the sandwich's original main ingredient. However, the modern chivito typically contains beef instead of goat meat.
Etymology
The term "chivito" is derived from the Spanish word for "little goat" or "kid". The sandwich was named after the meat that was originally used in its preparation. The switch to beef in the modern version of the sandwich is a result of the widespread availability and popularity of beef in Uruguay.
Ingredients
A typical chivito sandwich consists of a thin slice of beef steak, which is usually cooked on a grill. The steak is then placed on a bun, and topped with mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce, and mozzarella. Additional toppings can include bacon, ham, egg, and/or olives. Some variations of the chivito also include red peppers, pickles, and/or mushrooms.
Preparation
The preparation of a chivito begins with the grilling of the beef steak. Once the steak is cooked, it is placed on a bun and the toppings are added. The sandwich is typically served warm, with the mozzarella cheese melted over the top of the other ingredients. In some cases, the chivito is served with a side of french fries or a salad.
Variations
There are several variations of the chivito sandwich. The "chivito canadiense" is a popular version that includes all of the standard toppings, plus Canadian bacon. Another variation is the "chivito al plato", which is served without a bun and is eaten with a fork and knife.
