Cabbage di Parma

Cabbage di Parma

I spent a day binging Top Chef, and the semifinalists competed in Parma, Italy, with a directive to utilize the region’s most famous ingredients: Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano. This dish is an adaptation of Chef Stephanie Cmar’s presentation for that challenge and it is glorious.

I’ve avoided using cream or any dairy other than the cheese. Focus on quality ingredients and you’ll get the most out of the combination. You don’t need cooking skills for this one, either! Serve as a vegetable-forward dinner, or as a side dish.
