Italy


Italy (#1) Salsiccia e Lenticchie (Sausage and Lentils)

Week one was a success! Italians begin the New Year with lentils and sausage. The coin-shaped lentils signify wealth in the coming year, and the sausage signifies richness in life. I garnished the dish with sauteed peppers from my sister's backyard garden. I found a wonderful Italian truffle cheese and served it with two of my favorites - garlic stuffed olives and cornichons. This recipe is a keeper, thanks to Mary Ann Esposito and her cooking show "Ciao Italia".
Next week France!
