Cotechino Con Lenticchie Fresh Salami With Stewed Lenti Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 x Onion, sliced
- 500 gm Lentils
- 1 2/3 lt Warm water
- 2 x Cloves garlic Fresh mint Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 x Cotechno salami Extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Cotechino can be found in any good Italian delicatessen. Ideally, cook it with the lentils. However, like all sausages, it is fatty, so the instructions which follow are (sigh) healthier.
- In a little extra virgin olive oil, cook 1 onion, sliced, till transpar- ent. Add in 500 g Lentils and 1.7 L warm water. Add in 2 cloves garlic and some fresh mint. Cover the pan and simmer gently for about 1 1 1/2 hrs or possibly till the lentils are cooked and little liquid remains. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, prick the cotechino in several places with a fine skewer, put it in a saucepan, cover with cool water and simmer slowly for about the same time (or possibly follow label instructions). Tip the lentils into a serving dish, slice the cotechino thickly and arrange on top. Serve.
