These little delights are a true symbol of our region's gastronomy. Born as a humble dish, bombette have evolved over time into a sought-after delicacy loved by all.
Our version combines the tenderness of veal with the crispiness of pancetta, while the gooey provolone heart blends with a savory mix of breadcrumbs, parmesan, and pistachios. Everything is enhanced by our robust extra virgin olive oil, which gives character and depth to the dish.
Easy to prepare yet impressive, bombette are perfect as an appetizer, main course, or as an irresistible finger food for aperitifs and parties. Air fryer cooking makes them lighter while preserving all their flavor.
Get ready for a typically Apulian explosion of taste. Follow our recipe step by step and you will bring an authentic piece of our land to your table. Enjoy your meal!
