Baked Provolone

This is a recipe I learned when I was in Argentina.
I add my own little twist to it and serve it as a light supper dish , with crusty bread and a nice crisp, fruity white wine.
I also serve this as an apetiser at summer barbecues.

Ingredients for a starter for 3-4:

• 200 gr slice of Provolone cheese
• 1 spring onion, chopped
• 1 tomato, peeled and chopped
• chili flakes and oregano, to taste
• crusty french bread, to serve

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Place the cheese in a small ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with a little chili flakes and oregano.

Fry the spring onion for 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and the chopped tomato; cook for 3 minutes and remove from the heat. Pour the tomato sauce over the cheese.
Bake the cheese for 6-10 minutes, until bubbling.

Serve hot, with salad and crusty bread.
Each person gets a spoonful of lovely melting cheese, with a slice of french bread.
