ITALIAN NEW YEAR'S EVE LENTILS

If you do not add cheese to your soup you might want to add a little more salt during cooking.Traditionally Italian families have lentils in some form on New Year's Eve. One of the beliefs behind this is that the lentils are shaped like little coins and by eating lentils at Midnight on New Year's Eve it's supposed to bring you prosperity in the new year.

Steps:

  • 1) Put oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Put in the ham hocks meat side down and cook until brown. Then add all the vegetables, herbs, salt and pepper. Cook for ten minutes.
  • 2) Add water to the pot and bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil reduce to a simmer, and cover, then cook for 1 hour.
  • 3) After an hour of cooking time add the lentils and cook for another hour.
  • 4) While the lentils are cooking, cook the rice according to the package directions and set aside.
