Cotechino is a popular Italian sausage made from pork. It is traditionally eaten during the holiday season, especially on New Year’s Eve. Pre-cooked cotechino is a convenient option that saves you time and effort in the kitchen. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of cooking pre-cooked cotechino to perfection.

What You’ll Need

  • 1 pre-cooked cotechino sausage
  • Water
  • Pot
  • Knife
  • Plate
  • Fork

Step 1: Prepare the Cotechino

Start by removing the pre-cooked cotechino sausage from its packaging. Using a knife, make small incisions on the surface of the sausage. These incisions will help release any excess fat while cooking and prevent the skin from bursting.

Step 2: Boil the Water

Fill a pot with enough water to fully submerge the cotechino sausage. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.

Step 3: Cook the Cotechino

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the pre-cooked cotechino sausage to the pot. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot. Let the sausage cook for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4: Check for Doneness

After 15-20 minutes, remove the cotechino sausage from the pot and place it on a plate. Use a fork to check if it is fully cooked. The fork should easily penetrate the sausage, and the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once fully cooked, transfer the cotechino sausage to a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into thick rounds. Serve the cotechino with lentils, potatoes, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy the delicious flavors of this traditional Italian sausage!

That’s it! You now know how to cook pre-cooked cotechino. It’s a simple and flavorful dish that will surely impress your family and friends. Give it a try this holiday season, and Buon Appetito!
