Christmas is coming, New Year’s is coming, and we want cotechino with lentils on our tables.
Tradition is not to be abandoned, and I agree.
Thanks to the use of a pressure cooker, you can cook a good fresh cotechino in less time than with traditional cooking methods.
Read below the Pressure Cooker Cotechino Recipe and leave me a comment on how you found preparing it.

Ingredients
- 1 cotechino
- to taste water
Tools
- 1 Pressure Cooker lagostina
Preparation
First, you need to prick the meat with a fork and wrap the cotechino in 2 sheets of aluminum foil, sealing them like a candy;
Place the cotechino at the bottom of the pot on a steamer basket and pour water just to cover the bottom of the cotechino;
Close the lid and cook on high heat;
Once the pressure cooker whistles, lower the heat and cook for half an hour;
Turn off the heat and wait a few minutes before opening the lid;
Remove the cotechino, open the aluminum foil, and let it evaporate;
Peel the cotechino by making an incision along its length;
Place it on a plate and slice it.
Leftover cotechino can be stored in the fridge for 2/3 days.
