Pesto Parmo
Bring a taste of the Mediterranean to your counter with the Pesto Parmo – a vibrant dish that transforms a classic favourite into something truly special. It’s rich, colourful, and packed with flavour, making it a standout addition to any butcher’s display.
At its core, this dish features a tender chicken fillet, flattened for even cooking. It’s coated in Verstegen Batter and Shake for a light, crisp finish, then rolled in Cheese and Onion Crispy Breading to create a golden, savoury crust. The aroma alone will draw attention to your display.
Next comes a layer of Serrano ham, adding a subtle saltiness that pairs beautifully with mozzarella and fresh tomato slices. Together, they create a perfect balance of creamy and tangy notes. To elevate the flavour, drizzle with Verstegen Pesto World Grill. This adds a burst of basil, garlic, and parmesan, giving the dish its signature Italian character.
Finally, garnish with pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. These finishing touches add colour, texture, and a sense of freshness. As a result, your display looks more artisan and inviting.
The Pesto Parmo isn’t just attractive – it’s practical too. It cooks quickly in the oven, producing tender chicken and a bubbling, golden topping. Customers can serve it with salad, chips, or pasta, making it ideal for families, food lovers, or anyone seeking a simple yet gourmet meal.
In short, this dish delivers on every level. It’s easy to prepare, visually striking, and bursting with Mediterranean flavour. Add the Pesto Parmo to your range today and give your customers something new to fall in love with.
