Preparation

Clean and fillet the fish, cut the fillets into pieces and then..
Chop them with a cleaver, do not blend them, or the meatballs will be tough.
Cut half of the cherry tomatoes in half, and season them with oil, salt, pepper, and oregano, mix and set aside.
Peel the shallot and slice it, so you get circles about 1/4 inch thick.
Prepare the breadcrumbs seasoned with salt, pepper, grated Pecorino Romano, chopped parsley, and garlic. Mix and divide it into 2 parts.
In one half, add diced provola, eggs, and the chopped fish mix. Knead
Form meatballs
Now form the skewers alternating the meatballs with onion rings and cherry tomatoes cut in half, until the skewer is complete.
Once all the skewers are complete, bread them in the remaining seasoned breadcrumbs that we set aside.
At this point, either fry them in a pan or bake them in the oven.
In this case, the oven should be preheated to 356°F with fan for about 5 minutes.
If you want to cook them in the air fryer, after preheating it to 356°F
Place the skewers in the basket with parchment paper and cook for 5 minutes.
