Ladle the lentils in a large serving dish with parsley and then place the sliced zampone on top. Enjoy and Happy New Year!
Chef tips:
If you want prosperity and good luck in the coming year- you must eat these lentils on New Years Eve! It’s traditional to eat lentils. The little coin-shaped legumes supposedly bring good fortune, namely in the form of money, and, on the last day of the year, are usually served with Zampone or Cotechino.
