Today is National Eggplant Parmigiana Day!

Slices of eggplant dipped in Italian bread crumbs and layered with cheese and Mama’s Sunday sauce then baked to perfection. At Jasper’s and Marco Polo’s, we serve this authentic dish with a side of Mostaccioli.

The origin of the dish dates back to the Sicilians and really has nothing to do with Parmigiana cheese. In the 15th and 16th centuries, cooking “Parmigiana style” simply referred to the practice of layering vegetables in casseroles. Some authorities insist that the name of the dish comes from the Sicilian word palmigiana, or shutters—a reference to the palm-thatched roofs that the eggplant slices resemble.

Make sure you stop by Jasper’s or Marco Polo’s Italian Market and enjoy some of the finest and most authentic Eggplant Parmigiana in Kansas City.

Food for thought. Interesting. I grew up in a house exactly like this. We didn’t even have air-conditioning or a dishwasher until I graduated from high school and I believe it was some time even after that.
