Rate my Parma!

After spending a week in a rather uncomfortable place (not the back of a Volkswagen, for those who remember Mall Rats) I offered Husband the dinner of his choice upon his return.  Without hesitation the response came, "Parma!".  I'm not a big parma eater myself, and I don't think it has ever been served in Seoul, there being a lack of Bowls clubs around here (or for the Canberra readership, the Dickson Tradies). 

I consulted a variety of recipe websites and came up with a parma construction I thought would fit the bill. The crumbing of the chicken was easy enough.  Although rather than breadcrumbs, I used panko which gave it a slight don katsu feeling.  Not for any culinary reason other than it was what I had in the pantry.  After frying the chicken I topped it with bacon, grilled eggplant, a tomato sauce I had made earlier in the day and then some pizza cheese (gotta work with what I got).

Ready for the oven.

A couple of minutes under the grill and it was done.  Given my lack of experience in the parma milieu, I was pretty pleased with the results.

While I don't think you can submit home cooked parma here, it was declared to be the best parma in Seoul by a grateful audience.

Now if I could just get that Loin Groin song out of my head....

I over catered just a little.
