About Bombette pugliesi
La Cucina Italiana presents Paolo Bussolino's bombette as a classic Puglian preparation of pork and cheese. His oven rendition wraps pancetta and semi-mature caciocavallo inside thin slices of boneless pork collar.
Salt, pepper and parsley season the filling. The pork and pancetta provide a savoury richness around the melting cheese, with cooked grape must added at service as the recipe's traditional sweet accent.
Each small roll has its edges tucked in and is held with a toothpick. The bombette are served very hot, with a Puglian Susumaniello red wine suggested alongside.
