1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Dried lentils
1 tablespoon Salt
2 Cloves garlic
12 Leaves fresh sage
4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
4 Ablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Cotecchino sausage; about 1 pound

Directions

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt.

Add the lentils, garlic and sage. Boil the lentils until tender yet still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain in a colander over the sink and place in a mixing bowl.

Combine the lentils with the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Prick the sausage with a pin several times. Place in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a very low boil and cover the pot. Cook for 1-½ hours.

Place the marinating lentils on a large serving platter to form a bed for the Cotecchino. Remove the Cotecchino from the cooking liquid and drain.

Slice the Cotecchino into ¼-inch rounds and place on a platter over the lentils. Serve.

Yield: 4 servings
