Cotechino e Lenticchie Brasate

Starting the day off with COTECHINO e LENTICCHIE BRASATE (Cotechino w/Braised Lentils).   Cotechino is an Italian charcuterie product much like salami, although it requires cooking before being served.   The name comes from “cotica” (rind), but it can go by different names in different regions and/or depending on who’s the producer.   Italian tradition calls for it to be served with lentils on New Year’s Eve in order to bring good luck during the coming year.   That said…
