You can’t say no to Eggplant Parmigiana . You can fry or grill the eggplant. If you fry them the final result will be more interesting.
Even today the origins of this recipe are discussed. Someone says it comes from Naples , someone from Sicily and someone Parma. In the end we don′t worry about it because we are happy to say that eggplant parmigiana is a recipe loved in the world.
As always i recommend you to use first quality and fresh products whose origin is Italian and certified. Eat less but eat better i will always tell you.
This recipe is for one oven pan Parmigiana but i love preparing the single-serve. The method is the same you have to cut the aubergines with the dough cutter and use it to make the single-serve and then cook it
