Bombette is a delicious traditional dish from the Puglia region in southern Italy. This savory delight consists of rolled-up balls of meat, filled with cheese and/or cured meats. In this blog post, we will share a step-by-step guide on how to make authentic Pugliese Bombette that will leave your taste buds craving for more.

Ingredients:

  • 500 grams of pork loin or beef flank
  • 100 grams of provolone cheese
  • 100 grams of cured ham (such as prosciutto or salami)
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the meat:

Start by flattening the meat using a meat mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. This will help make it easier to roll up the Bombette later on.

2. Season the meat:

In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly onto both sides of the flattened meat.

3. Fill the Bombette:

Cut the provolone cheese and cured ham into thin strips. Place a few strips of cheese and ham on one end of each flattened meat slice. Roll up the meat tightly, securing the filling inside. Use toothpicks to hold the Bombette together.

4. Cook the Bombette:

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the Bombette with a little extra virgin olive oil. Grill them for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through.

5. Serve and enjoy:

Remove the toothpicks from the Bombette before serving. These savory delights can be enjoyed hot off the grill or at room temperature. They make a perfect appetizer for parties or a delicious main course when served with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your Bombette. You can use various types of cheese, cured meats, or even add some vegetables for a unique twist.
  • If you don’t have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the Bombette in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
  • Make sure to use toothpicks to secure the Bombette tightly, so they don’t unravel during cooking.
  • Allow the Bombette to rest for a few minutes after grilling before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Now that you know how to make authentic Pugliese Bombette, it’s time to impress your friends and family with this traditional Italian delicacy. The combination of tender meat, melted cheese, and flavorful cured meats is guaranteed to be a hit. So, fire up that grill and get ready to indulge in a taste of Puglia!
