(An easy menu for Christmas or New Year's Eve Dinner)

This is a typical Italian menu for Christmas and especially for New Year's Eve Dinner.
It's full of seasonal flavors: polenta, lentils, risotto, pomegranates, apples, sultanas.
Every course is made with countable ingredients (rice, lentils, pomegranate kernels, sultanas ...): in Italy we say people who eat them are in luck all the year! And so they are always on our table during Christmas.
Another important thing is our courses can be prepared in advance; the best opportunity when you have guests. Read our instructions of every dish for knowing what to do.
We have chosen Italian Prosecco from appetizers to second course. You have to think changing wine is not the best thing.
You can serve a dessert wine with Christmas cake. Vin Santo del Chianti Classico is a very good dessert wine from Tuscany. Remember: don't serve sparkling wine with cakes!
