Very often they are really the simpler recipes those that satisfy the most.
A tasty one recipe that delight large and the children are the grilled scamorza. It is a dish that can be served both as starter that as a main dish: it takes just a few minutes to prepare it and it is also affordable kitchen experts.

Scamorza is a typical cheese of the central-southern regions of Italy, but its production extends throughout the national territory. It is a pasta filata cheese and has a particular seasoning that gives it a strong flavor.
Depending on your preferences you can opt for the choice of traditional scamorza, which has a more delicate flavor, or smoked one. I prefer the smoked one.
A suggestion for the enrichment of this dish is to accompany it with a suitable side dish. It is advisable to choose between a fresh salad or a mixture of vegetables cooked in a pan.

Today I accompanied it with pan fried red chicory radicchio slices.
Super easy, summer yummy!
