Zampone with Borlotti Beans

Rinse the Dried Borlotti beans thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Cover them with cold water, ensuring at least 5 cm of water above the beans, and let them soak overnight for at least 12 hours.

The following day, drain the soaked Dried Borlotti beans and rinse them again. Set aside.

Prepare the Zampone according to package instructions. Typically, this involves piercing the casing in several places, then simmering it gently in a large pot of water for approximately 2 to 3 hours, or until very tender. Once cooked, carefully remove the Zampone from the water, drain, and let it rest for a few minutes.
