Eggplant Parmesan
Eggplant Parmesan features layers of breaded eggplant, tangy tomato sauce, and melted cheese creating a rich, umami-forward dish with bright acidic notes. The moderate acidity and red fruit character of Italian red wines cut through the richness while complementing the tomato sauce, while malt-forward beers with moderate carbonation provide balance without overwhelming the dish.
