Overview

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Parmigiana (Italian: melanzane alla parmigiana or parmigiana di melanzane) describes a classic Southern Italian dish made with shallow fried eggplant slices layered with cheese and tomato sauce and baked in an oven. Variations made with breaded meat cutlets, such as veal and chicken parmigiana, have been developed in other countries, usually in areas of Italian immigration. Parmigiana is also used as an adjective in the names of other unrelated dishes from Parma cuisine, such as Trippa alla Parmigiana (Parma-style tripe). While the word parmigiana literally means from Parma, a city in the Emilia Romagna region of Northern Italy, the dish does not derive from Parma cuisine. Eggplants were introduced to Italy through Sicily and the southern region, and its origin is claimed by both Campania and Sicily. The dish consists of sliced eggplant pan fried in oil, layered with tomato sauce and cheese, and baked in an oven.
