5Cotechino con Lenticchie

Cotechino con lenticchie, or spiced pork sausage with lentils, is a holiday favorite, especially in northern Italy.

Cotechino is a large sausage made with seasoned pork, often served with a side of stewed lentils, which are believed to bring good luck and prosperity in the New Year.

The richness of the sausage and the earthiness of the lentils create a comforting dish that is often enjoyed during Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
