Melanzane alla parmigiana S3 - P112

Eggplant parmigiana is more than just a dish; it's a true work of art. This Neapolitan recipe is made by Neapolitans, especially on Sundays when the whole family gathers around the table. Although complex and decidedly hearty, it's served as a side dish alongside meat and ragù. This dish has ancient origins. The Monzù family, French chefs who came to serve the Bourbons, brought their sauces and delicacies to the Royal Palace. Historical artifacts suggest they made a sort of modern-day eggplant parmigiana, much loved by the King and Queen. But really, how can you resist fried eggplant, tomato sauce, and mozzarella? It's truly impossible, and the nobles knew it well! ► Ingredients for eggplant parmigiana: 1.5 kg eggplant 400 g mozzarella for pizza 150 g Parmigiano Reggiano 1 bunch basil 1 kg pureed peeled tomato 1 clove garlic Extra virgin olive oil to taste Seed oil for frying to taste Fine salt to taste Coarse salt to taste At Casa Pappagallo, there's always something brewing!
