Next Dish: Rugbrød

Provoleta is a traditional Argentine dish made from provolone cheese. The cheese is often seasoned with oregano and chili flakes, then grilled until it achieves a crispy exterior and melted interior. It is typically served in a small, heated skillet or on a piece of bread, often as an appetizer or side dish. The dish is popular in both Argentina and Uruguay, especially during asados, or barbecues.
