Cotechino

Great PSA on cotechino, Alberto!

I still have the other one in my fridge. I was going to cook it up last night but after so many rich meals over the past week I just wasn't up for it. Later this week though I will be having it with lentils and drizzled with balsamic.

I've served it to several friends now, many of them picky eaters, and yet they all agree that it's unique and one of the best sausages they've ever had. Next time I see them it's usually the first thing they bring up!

I've enjoyed cotechino in Italy several times. Does anyone have a US source with at least a modicum of quality?

Just noticed the post about sources. Duh.

I've been cooking cotechino con lenticchie since the mid-eighties, when I first had it in Rome on New Year's Day While I don't have photographs, I've posted the recipe in my blog at http://www.skiplombardi.com

OK, in the interest of furthering the cotechino thread and certainly not, NOT because I've just figured out how to post pictures and am having too much fun to stop, here's our Cotechino and lentil feast from last week.
