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.)

Categories     Cheese

Time 2h6m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb provolone cheese, in one unsliced log
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon oregano, fresh, chopped
2 teaspoons red chili pepper flakes (aji molido)

Steps:

  • Slice the cheese in 1/2 inch thick rounds.
  • Mix together the oil, oregano, and aji to form a paste.
  • Spread the paste over the cheese slices.
  • There is a certain amount of technique to successfully grilling cheese. An essential is that the grill must be very hot. To cook directly on the grill, first set the prepared cheese slices out at room temperature for a couple of hours. As the surface dries out, a hard film starts to form. This is what will keep you from ending up with a gooey puddle in the bottom of your grill. If you don't quite feel up to cooking the cheese directly on the grill, you can use a pie plate or aluminum foil.
  • Cook about three minutes on each side.
  • Serve hot.

PROVOLETA (GRILLED PROVOLONE CHEESE)



Provoleta (Grilled Provolone Cheese) image

Fom "Seven Fires" Argentine grilling book by Francis Mallmann. My husband liked this a lot, but it was the only animal protein at dinner and he could live on cheese alone. I liked it, but it won't work as a spread on bread. I preferred it the following day sliced thin as a snack. It's a lot like grilled halloumi cheese, but Provolone is easier to find. You could use one tablespoon dried oregaano instead.
