Chivito is the national dish of Uruguay.^[2]^[3] 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.^[4]^[5] Other ingredients, such as red beets, peas, grilled or pan-fried red peppers, and slices of cucumber, may be added.^[6]^[7]

In Argentine cuisine a similar sandwich is called lomito.

History[edit]

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^[8]^[9]^[10] from northern Argentina or Chile ordered a sandwich of chivito for a hurried meal, expecting kid.^[1] The restaurant owner, Antonio Carbonaro,^[11] did not have this meat and used beef fillet steak instead.^[12]^[13]

Variations[edit]

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.
