Provoleta is a beloved Argentine dish that showcases the rich, gooey goodness of provolone cheese, often enjoyed as a shared appetizer or a delightful addition to a barbecue. Traditionally grilled to perfection, the cheese becomes bubbly and develops a deliciously crispy crust, making it an irresistible treat. This dish is often served with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of herbs, elevating its flavor and freshness to new heights. Whether enjoyed at a family gathering or a casual dinner, Provoleta brings a slice of Argentine culture to your table.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Provolone cheese
1 pound, sliced into thick rounds
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Oregano
1 teaspoon, dried
Red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons, chopped
Lemon wedges
for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Brush both sides of the provolone slices with olive oil to ensure even cooking and flavor.
  3. Sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes on one side of each provolone slice, adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired spice level.
  4. Carefully place the provolone slices on the grill or skillet, seasoned side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and develop a golden crust.
  5. Using a spatula, carefully flip the provoleta slices and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until the cheese is fully melted and has a beautiful golden color.
  6. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
  7. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cheese for added brightness and acidity.
