Start by preparing the bombetta with raw capacolo sliced very thinly.

If you can't find capacolo, you can substitute with lamb, beef, or chicken, ensuring it's pounded thin.

Layer a slice of pancetta on top of each slice of capacolo.

Add a slice of kacho cavalo cheese on top of the pancetta.

Fold the sides of the capacolo over the filling and roll it tightly to seal.

Press the bombetta in your hands to shape it and then coat it in bread crumbs without using eggs or flour.

Skewer the bombette, ensuring to place the sealed side facing down on the skewer.

Drizzle rosemary olive oil over the bombette before grilling.

Preheat the barbecue and cook the bombette for 6-7 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.

Prepare a salad with thinly sliced fennel and orange segments, seasoning with black pepper and salt.

Toss the fennel and orange segments together and create a bed on a serving plate.

Place the grilled bombette skewers on top of the salad and garnish with flat leaf parsley.
