Uruguay, the impossible sandwich

Hola,

Uruguay, located in Latin America, Uruguay has a sandwich style national dish called chivito. Traditional comfort food, there are a lot of versions to this national dish. I decided to cook it with thin rib steak, pancetta, eggs, ham, Monterey Jack cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted peppers.

The meal is similar to many meals found in cafes, what I call an impossible sandwich since it is impossible to get your mouth around it. The chivito was really nice. It had aioli rather than butter which makes a nice alternative. Monterey Jack cheese is a very soft cheese and is perfect for melting. I had never had pancetta before and I really liked the flavour it added to the meal.



I would make a sandwich using some of these ingredients and this has taught me a thing or two about sandwiches. However I would like to get my mouth around it.

Adios
