Cotechino and the Pescatarian Diet
Cotechino is a type of Italian sausage made primarily from pork, seasoned with various spices and cooked slowly to develop its full flavor. Originating in the regions of Modena and Ferrara, it is a staple in Italian cuisine, particularly enjoyed during holidays like New Year's Eve, often served with lentils or mashed potatoes. The sausage is traditionally prepared by encasing a mixture of pork, pork rind, and fat, along with a variety of seasonings, in a natural casing, and then simmered for several hours to achieve its characteristic soft texture and robust taste.
