\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The etymology of the name is as much debated as its origin.<\/p>

Some say that “parmigiana” comes from “parmiciana<\/b><\/span>“, a Sicilian term for the wooden strips of shutters, similar to the layered arrangement of eggplant.<\/p>

Others, however, think of Parmigiano Reggiano, although in the Southern versions it is not always the only star cheese.<\/p>

According to some nineteenth-century Neapolitan sources<\/b><\/span>, parmigiana as we know it today-with fried food, sauce, and cheese-began in the Gulf as a bourgeois Sunday dish.<\/p>

But in Sicily, long before that, people cooked fried eggplant with tomato sauce and cacio cheese.<\/p>

And in the end, it doesn’t matter who invented it.<\/p>

What matters is what it represents<\/b><\/span>: a dish that brings together, that layers histories and cultures as it does with its slices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Parmigiana is one of those dishes in which nothing is accidental<\/b><\/span>:<\/p>

– the eggplant<\/b><\/span> should be fried, never grilled, if you want the full flavor of tradition<\/p>

– the sauce<\/b><\/span> should be made slowly, with fresh basil<\/p>

– the mozzarella<\/b><\/span> must be dry, otherwise it ruins the texture<\/p>

– the grated cheese<\/b><\/span> gives flavor and creates the crust<\/p>

– and then there’s you, the patience<\/b><\/span>: because parmigiana must be allowed to rest, like all good things.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Some people prepare it on Saturday for Sunday.<\/p>

Those who make an extra pan “because it tastes even better tomorrow.”<\/p>

Those who take it to country lunches, or serve it on St. Joseph’s Day.<\/p>

Every family has its own version.<\/p>

Some people add hard-boiled eggs, some make it white, and some even put ham.<\/p>

But the truth is that parmigiana you don’t argue with it, you love it<\/b><\/span>. As it comes, it comes. And it always comes be <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Parmigiana is the kind of dish that you never cook for yourself alone<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>

It is done for someone. To share. To bring a moment of warmth to the table. <\/p>

Every bite tells of <\/span>a season of good tomatoes<\/b>, <\/span>a busy kitchen<\/b>, <\/span>a noisy Sunday<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

And if today you find it in gourmet restaurants in deconstructed, mini, spoon-served versions…<\/p>

one thing is certain: nothing beats Grandma’s baking dish<\/b><\/span>, pulled out of the oven with a floured apron and a barely-there smile.<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 The first written traces of parmigiana appear as early as 1837 in the book “Cucina teorico-pratica” by Ippolito Cavalcanti, duke of Buonvicino.<\/span><\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 In some families in Campania, they used to prepare it with eggplants floured and dipped in egg, before frying, to make them even softer.<\/span><\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 A pinch of sugar is also added to the sauce in many Sicilian recipes to balance the bitterness of the eggplant.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
