The eggplant parmigiana we would have to make a treaty: first, for its origins, struggles between Emilia Romagna, Campania and Sicily, second for the meaning of his name. Contrary to popular thought, the name Parmesan, does not mean "the use of eggplant Parma" or "Eggplant Parmesan" but derives from "Parmiciana", ie all the wood pieces together, overlapping, forming the Persian and remember that the refurbishment of the eggplant parmigiana. For all we know today, the home of eggplant parmigiana is Sicily, where you can trovare le tipiche melanzane da parmigiana, ovvero le petrociane, termine dal quale deriverebbe (secondo i siciliani) il nome della pietanza. Ingredienti:
- 1,5 kg di melanzane

- 1,4 l di passata di pomodoro
- 1 spicchio d'aglio
- olio extravergine d'oliva
- sale e pepe q.b.
- fogli di basilico q. b.
Come prima cosa preparate il sugo di pomodoro.

■ Consiglio
Un suggerimento for the choice of eggplant: the ideal is that large, oval, purple glossy to the touch it should not be too hard and not too soft but should have the right consistency. To make your
parmigiana more 'light you can use instead of the grilled eggplant' fries.
