This vegan cotechino is the perfect meat free alternative for those that don't want to give up the Italian holiday traditions!
For the lentils: Make a basic Italian soffritto with some finely diced onion, celery and carrot, add a bay leaf and a couple of crushed garlic cloves, season with salt and pepper, and add 2 cans of cooked lentils (alternatively you can boil 250 g of dry lentils in 1 liter of water with water, garlic, bay leaf and celery for 25 minutes. Season with salt, drain and add to the soffritto).
Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat, adjust the seasonings and serve.
