PROVOLETA (GRILLED PROVOLONE CHEESE)



Provoleta (Grilled Provolone Cheese) image

In Argentina, a thick slice of provoleta, a provolone-type cheese, is cooked over coals until browned and bubbling, then served as a mouthwatering appetizer with bread. It's a bit like fondue or queso fundido but not quite as molten and melty. Typically, a large meal, or asado, of grilled sweetbreads, sausages and various cuts of beef follows, but provoleta makes a great snack with drinks, regardless of what you serve afterward. For ease of preparation, provoleta can be cooked in a cast-iron pan, under the broiler or baked in a hot oven. If you want success at cooking provoleta the traditional way, directly on the grill, leave the cheese uncovered at room temperature for several hours or overnight to dry the exterior a bit. A dab of chimichurri salsa is usually served alongside.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
2 or 3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Large pinch of crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons cold water
8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced at least 1 inch thick
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 baguette, sliced in 1/2-inch rounds, toasted, if desired

Steps:

  • Make the chimichurri: In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, oregano, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper, crushed red pepper, vinegar and water. Thin with a little more water, if necessary, to make a pourable sauce. Set aside to let flavors meld. Sauce may be prepared up to 1 hour in advance.
  • Set a small cast-iron pan over medium-high heat (or over hot coals). When pan is hot, put in the cheese. Sprinkle with half the oregano and crushed red pepper.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, until the bottom begins to brown. Carefully flip the cheese with a spatula and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the second side is browned and the cheese is beginning to ooze. Transfer cheese to a plate and sprinkle with remaining oregano and crushed red pepper. Serve immediately, accompanied with bread and chimichurri. (Alternatively, finish the cheese by putting it under the broiler or in a hot oven.)

Tips for Making Grilled Provolone Pepperoni

  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality provolone cheese and pepperoni for the best flavor and texture.
  • Slice Cheese and Pepperoni Thinly: This ensures even cooking and melting of the cheese.
  • Use a Non-Stick Grill Pan: This prevents the cheese and pepperoni from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Preheat the Grill: Ensure the grill is hot before cooking to get a nice sear on the provolone and pepperoni.
  • Cook in Batches: If making multiple grilled provolone pepperonis, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the grill and ensure even cooking.
  • Don't Overcook: Keep a close eye on the grilled provolone pepperonis to prevent overcooking, as this can make the cheese tough and the pepperoni dry.
  • Serve Immediately: Grilled provolone pepperonis are best enjoyed fresh off the grill, while the cheese is still melted and gooey.
