Description
Cotechino — the large, coarse-ground pork sausage of Modena, heavily flavoured with spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, white pepper) — is one of the most complex fresh sausage preparations in Italian cooking. Served with lentils (traditionally on New Year's Eve — the lentils representing coins, abundance), it demonstrates the Italian principle that the sausage and its accompaniment are designed as a unit: the cotechino's fat and spice require the lentil's earthy absorption to be complete.
