Day 4 of The FIFA World Cup Cooking challenge. Uruguay. Legend has it, a great chef in Punta del Este, Uruguay called Antonio Carbonada had an Argentine lady as a regular customer. One day she asked for her fave sandwich that normally was made with goat ('Chivito' in Spanish). But he had no goat, so he threw together what was on hand; Steak, ham, egg, cheese, lettuce, and mayonnaise- and it was in that magic moment the Chivito was born. It is now found everywhere in Uruguay and keeping topical, it's apparently Suarez's favourite food.
So here's my Chivito and I gotta say, this is One. Hell. Of. A. 'Wich! Tenderised Beef Steak, Bacon, Deli Ham, A fried egg, (lactose free) mozzarella cheese and salad... and home cut chips. This dish is definitely not for dieters, nor the faint hearted! Damn, does it deserve every bit of it's popularity. Banging!
