New year in Modena with Zampone con Leticchi e pure di patate

Modena is one of the city at regional Emilia Romagna .Around 40 km from Bologna, with population 180.000. Home of Luciano Pavarotti, and famose car Ferari. Famose MOdena produce are prosciutto cotto ( raw prosciutto ), aceto balsamico and zampone ( stuffed pig's trotter).

My boyfriend's family at New year they celebrated with wine Lambrusco, and eat torteloni for first course and second course is zampone with lenticchi( lentil) and pure di patate( potatoes pure).

They bought raw zamponi one night before, and put in normal water for 1 night, and early in the morning boil for 8 hours. It's need long time to wait it...ufffa...!!!

And the new year we eat Zampone, the taste so good and a lot of fat...but forget it !!! because todays is New year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
