Roman New Year’s Eve Dinner—How to Make Zampone & Lentils

This video is about what Italians eat for New Year’s Eve Dinner. Enjoy it! The zampone is a tasty pork sausage from Emilia-Romagna that is enjoyed all over Italy. Served on New Year’s Eve, zampone and lentils is a delicious dish believed to bring good luck to those who eat it in the year to come. Curiously, zampone and lentils is NOT your dinner—it is something that is served AFTER dinner (around midnight). For what a Roman dinner itself should look like, click here:    • Being Roman at the Table   The zampone is basically a sausage stuffed into a pig’s front leg that is sliced and served on top of a bed of lentils. Since lentils’ shape resembles coins, Italian custom has it that if you start the New Year by eating lentils, it will bring you prosperity. Zampone (or its cousin cotechino) with lentils is not a fancy dish—it’s made with inexpensive and simple ingredients so that anyone can afford it. The zampone itself can be purchased raw from a specialty butcher or already pre-cooked and vacuum-packaged. If you buy the supermarket variety all you need to do is prepare the lentils, reheat the zampone and serve at the stoke of midnight. Ingredients (serves 4): • 1 Zampone • 500 gr dried lentils • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil • 1-2 Celery Stalks • 1 carot • 1 onion • rosemary • 2 bay leaves • 1 cup Vegetable Broth • salt and pepper to taste (some recipes include tomatoes, too) Christmas in Rome?
