PROVOLETA

Steps:

• Slice the cheese in 1/2 inch thick rounds.
• Mix together the oil, oregano, and aji to form a paste.
• Spread the paste over the cheese slices.
• There is a certain amount of technique to successfully grilling cheese. An essential is that the grill must be very hot. To cook directly on the grill, first set the prepared cheese slices out at room temperature for a couple of hours. As the surface dries out, a hard film starts to form. This is what will keep you from ending up with a gooey puddle in the bottom of your grill. If you don't quite feel up to cooking the cheese directly on the grill, you can use a pie plate or aluminum foil.
• Cook about three minutes on each side.
• Serve hot.

PROVOLETA (ARGENTINA)

Steps:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet over very high heat (I used non-stick and it worked just fine) and put the cheese in it.
• Sprinkle with half the oregano and red pepper flakes and cook until the cheese begins to melt and you can see some brown around the bottom edges.
• Carefully flip the cheese, making sure you get all the crispy brown bits. Sprinkle with the remaining oregano and red pepper and continue to grill until you see those brown edges again.
• Remove from the pan and serve immediately with a crusty bread.
