Cotechino recipe with lentils and turnip greens


We experimented with the "slow cooker": an ally that cooks for a long time, in a very delicate way, and without the need for control. To go out in the morning and find New Year's dinner ready in the evening

  • 700 g 1 fresh cotechino in a vacuum bag
  • 500 g Castelluccio lentils
  • 200 g peeled turnip greens
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 1 onion
  • cloves
  • rosemary
  • garlic
  • chili pepper
  • dry white wine
  • salt
  • extra virgin olive oil

Wash tightly pack the cotechino, place it still packaged in the slow cooker and cover it with water.
Switch on over low heat and cook for 4 hours, then add 1 glass of wine to the cooking water and add 1 peeled carrot into pieces and 1/2 an onion stick with 2 cloves, 1 sprig of rosemary, a pinch of salt and lentils. Cook for another 4 hours.
Remove finally the cotechino from the pot, remove it from the bag, remove all the fat and dab it with kitchen paper.
Seared quickly pan the turnip greens with a drizzle of oil, 1 whole clove of garlic, salt and a piece of chilli.
Serve them with sliced ​​cotechino and lentils; completed with pomegranate grains.
