Ingredients




1 pound aged provolone cheese see * Note
cup flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
(or 1 tspn dried oregano)
2 teaspoons aji molido see * Note
(or 1/2 tspn chile powder)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Freshly-ground white pepper to taste

Preparation

1 * Note: Aged provolone and aji molido (Argentine coarsely ground chile powder) are available at specialty markets and some supermarkets. 2 Dredge the cheese in flour, dusting off excess. Mix the remaining ingredients into a paste and smear half of it over the top of the cheese. 3 Place cheese spice-side up over hot coals and grill until the cheese begins to melt but still holds its shape and the underside is scored, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush the second side of the cheese with remaining spice mixture. Grill until second side is scored. 4 Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Provoleta may also be prepared on an indoor grill or in a ridged skillet. 5 This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
