There are a few of things we always make for New Years Day - roast pork, lentils, roasted or pan fried potatoes, corn bread and some kind of greens, either collards or mustards. Trying to combine traditional southern Italian with traditional American southern New Years. Also, had prosecco, couldn't get any moonshine...
This is how I did the pork roast - The herb mixture is made up of ground fennel seeds, rosemary, lemon zest, light brown sugar, minced garlic, flat leaf parsley, red pepper flakes, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and the add enough olive oil to make the herbs moist and spreadable. The day before cooking, score the top layer of fat and rub the herbs all over the roast and down into the score marks.
Lisa made the potatoes, mustard greens and corn bread. I cooked the the pork roast and lentils in the clay oven.
Cooked the lentils in the pignata and made a dough lid. The ingredients in the lentils were minced carrot, onion, garlic, pancetta, rosemary, a bay leaf and chicken stock.
Cooked the pork roast in a cast iron skillet.
Removed the lid and spooned the lentils into a serving dish.
