Authentic Provoleta Recipe Argentina, South America

Provoleta is essentially a grilled or baked slab of provolone cheese, enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish, especially during asados (Argentine barbecues). The main characteristic of provoleta is that it's crispy on the outside and gooey and stretchy on the inside. The provoleta cheese is cut into round, thick-cut slices, typically 1.5-2.5 cm (0.6-1 inches) thick, which are rubbed with olive oil and seasonings and grilled for about 3 minutes per side. When done, the provoleta is drizzled with some olive oil and served with crusty bread. Some like to pair it with chimichurri sauce. This dish is a quintessential part of Argentine asado culture, offering a savory, cheesy start to a meal.
