parmigiana, alla
[ pahr-muh-ZHAH-nuh ]
A term describing food that is made or cooked with
PARMESAN CHEESE. For instance, veal parmigiana is a pounded veal cutlet dipped in an egg-milk solution and then into a mixture of bread crumbs, grated Paremesan cheese and seasonings. The cutlet is then sautéed and covered with a tomato sauce. Eggplant parmigiana consists of eggplant slices prepared in the same manner. Slices of
MOZZARELLA CHEESE are sometimes melted on top of the food prior to adding the tomato sauce.
