🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe

Chimichurri Burger

The Dominican chimichurri (or chimi) is not to be confused with Argentine chimichurri sauce — this is a beloved street food burger found at roadside stands and carrito carts across Santo Domingo and every Dominican city. A juicy seasoned beef patty is nestled in a soft, slightly sweet bread roll and piled high with shredded cabbage, sliced tomatoes, onions, and a generous drizzle of a creamy mayo-ketchup sauce. Quick, messy, and absolutely delicious.
