Parma Eggplant (Aubergine) image

This is one of the better Eggplant dishes I've had. The ham really makes all the difference. If you cant find Parma Ham use a nice smoked ham.

The eggplant was a little undercooked for my liking. I would cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try it again with less oil.
