Recipe card for the classic Cotechino con Lenticchie
Serve it family-style with crusty bread and a splash of good olive oil, and toast to good fortune, good food, and another joyful year ahead.
Portland, Oregon’s Olympia Provisions has taken the wonderful French concept of charcuterie and elevated it into an art form, crafting a variety of salumi from all natural Northwest pork using old world techniques that have all but gone extinct. Salumist Elias Cairo grew up with a father who made charcuterie at home. He opened Olympia Provisions, Oregon’s first USDA-approved salumeria, in 2009, and the rest is delicious history.

To Serve
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Place a medium size pot with a tight fitting lid on your stove top on medium heat. Add the olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 15 minutes stirring with a wooden spoon taking care not to burn them. You are looking for a really tender veg with minimal color.
- Add the lentils and give them a good stir. Add 2 quarts of the chicken stock and bring to a simmer stirring to ensure that you do not scorch the lentils to the bottom of the pan. Once the lentils have started to simmer add the bunch of thyme and a good pinch of salt. Place a lid on top of your pot and place it in your oven for one hour.
- At the hour point check your lentils. You are looking for a really tender lentil. NO CRUNCH AT ALL!! If they need a bit more time check that there is enough liquid. They should be “soupy” if they need more liquid, add the remainder of the chicken stock.
- Serve & enjoy!
