🇦🇷 Argentina recipe

Provoleta

Provoleta is the beloved Argentine appetizer of thick-sliced provolone cheese grilled directly on the parrilla until it develops a golden, crispy crust on the outside while becoming irresistibly gooey and stretchy inside. Seasoned simply with oregano, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil, it is the traditional starter served before the main meats at every asado.
