Grandaughter gone to Uni in Leeds. Trying to find a place that does Parmo’s so she can introduce her flat mates to Boro’s fine dining delicacy.

Make one herself?

It's easy peasy.
Assuming for 4-6 people.

Step 1 - chicken breasts, butterflied, optional wether you beat them flat with a meat hammer or leave it as is.
Step 2 - Mix 4 eggs with a dash of milk. Dip prepared chicken into egg mix then into either dried breadcrumbs you've made yourself or you can buy panko breadcrumbs or golden breadcrumbs from any shop.
Step 3 - Place breasts on a tray and bang in the oven till cooked, breadcrumbs should go a nice golden colour.

Step 4 - Whilst chicken is cooking in the oven make the bechamel sauce or you can prepare this beforehand and let it cool completely.
500ml milk
1 onion rough chopped
5 bay leaves
Pinch of salt and WHITE pepper
I clove of garlic or 1 tsp garlic granules
Bang all that in a pan and bring it to a simmer.

In another bowl mix 50g melted butter (not margarine) and 50g plain flour with a wooden. spoon. Should be a smooth(ish) paste which doesn't stick to the side of the bowl. Once the milk has come to a simmer, seive out the onions etc, put milk back into the pan. SLOWLY add the butter and flour mix (known as a roux) to the milk, whisking all the time. Whisk until desired thickness has been reached then cook it out for 2 minutes.
At this stage you can either let the bechamel cool completely which makes it easier to spread or spoon it directly into the cooked chicken.

Add grated cheeses of choice, we go for a mix of red cheddar, white cheddar and mozzarella, add any toppings and place under the grill till cheese is melted.

Bosh. Done.

Full disclaimer, the bechamel sauce recipe here is the one I was taught at college and is implanted into my brain, we use a slightly different recipe at work but it's a kitchen secret (has more ingredients).

Her flatmates will be astounded by her cooking skills. Just please please please don't let her serve up Jeff the Chef parmos 😜
 
My granddaughter is quite capable of making a Parmo thanks
She just thought it would be a good way of getting to know new friends.
 
Hazzinho
is that leeds manjaros he gets them from as their website says they only do parmo's in boro and newcastle
 
Manjaros on Burley Road is best place for Parmos in Leeds. Been getting them from there for a good few years now. Used to be the casino as the head chef is from Billog but they stopped them a year back.

Ring in your order and drop by to collect them.
 
Here's another one ive found off google, very rare you'll find a decent boro quality parmo outside of TS postcode though!

Pizza & co in Newcastle do boro parmos and i can recommend portofino in Ripon
