Parma ham
Parma ham is an air-dried cured ham from the Parma region of Italy. It is characterized by its mild-salty, slightly sweet taste and tender texture. Traditionally, it is sliced very thinly and served raw, often as an appetizer or in salads. It also pairs wonderfully with melon or figs.
In community recipes, Parma ham is frequently used in Italian dishes, such as "Italian Pasta Salad with Pesto and Rocket". It is often combined with garlic, grated Parmesan, red pesto, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Its appearance in "Sicilian Roulades" also indicates its use in braised or roasted dishes.
Vegetarian / vegan substitutes
For a vegetarian alternative to Parma ham, consider smoked tofu (for quiches and casseroles) or grilled aubergine strips (for salads and sandwiches). For vegan cooking, thinly sliced, marinated, and baked aubergine or courgette slices can be used, as they can develop a similar texture and seasoning.
