Eggplant Parmigiana, a true gem of Italian comfort food.
Eggplant Parmigiana is a typical Sicilian dish. With only a few ingredients, such as tomato, eggplant, basil, and cheese, you get a flavour-filled dish symbolising Mediterranean cuisine! When you layer and place these ingredients in an oven, you create a beloved dish across Italy and beyond. Whether you wish to enjoy it as a side dish or a main course get ready for a truly genuine flavourful dish.
According to some food historians, however, the recipe’s inception should be sought further back in time and some miles south of Naples. Sicilians have long claimed melanzane alla parmigiana is their invention. The eggplant came to Italy thanks to the Arabs, who brought it to Sicily in the early Middle Ages. By the 15th century, this vegetable was common on Sicilian tables. Its name would come from the word petronciana, which was how the Arabs called it or, perhaps, from the Sicilian word parmiciana, a term used to indicate the wooden laths that form a shutter, the look of which could be compared, with some imagination, to the layers of parmigiana.
