As a symbol of wealth and prosperity, lentils are obligatory at any Italian New Year's dinner: Traditionally they are served with the zampone of Modena, or with boiled cotechino, and everyone eats at least a spoonful to ensure that the year will be prosperous for them. Lentils are produced in many areas of Italy, but the most sought-after are the small, quick-cooking ones grown at Castelluccio in Umbria.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

10 oz lentils

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 oz pancetta, finely chopped

5 or 6 sage leaves

1 garlic clove, chopped

salt

DIRECTIONS

Soak the lentils overnight in plenty of warm water. Drain and wash under running water. Drain well.

In a stewpan, combine the olive oil, onion, pancetta, sage leaves and garlic and fry gently for 2 or 3 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown. Add the lentils and water to cover. Season with salt, cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour.

Serve as an accompaniment to any kind of cooked pork product or with fresh polenta.
