My mother's currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina on a business trip and she tells me she fell in love with provoleta, which are seasoned and grilled provolone cheese slices. Here's a simple recipe:
PROVOLETA
Ingredients:
1 lb. aged provolone cheese, sliced in thick slices (about 1/2-5/8" thick)
1/3 cup flour
2 Tbsp. fresh oregano leaves
2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
Dash of pepper
2 tsp olive oil
Rustic baguette French bread, cut into 1/2" thick slices
Preparation:
Dredge cheese slices in flour and dust off any excess flour. Mix oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper and olive oil into a paste and smear over top and bottom sides of cheese. Place cheese, spice side down on a hot grill until cheese just begins to melt but is still firm, about 2-3 minutes. Flip cheese and grill for 1 additional minute or until both sides have grill marks. Remove from feat and place on a platter surrounded by baguette slices.
