Well, just a couple. My granny, mother side, used to cook "cotechino in
crosta" which is a cotechino wrapped in bread dough and baked. This way the
fat of the cotechino all remain trapped inside, very very arthery clogging
recipe. One could make that lighter by boiling the cotechino half-way and
then wrapping and baking it.
A common way of serving cotechino is with sides like potato puree or boiled
potatoes. Lentils also are very common, expecially during the christmas
days. Cotechino in bollito misto is the main way to eat it hereabouts, maybe
with lettuce salads and "mostarda", which is a kind of pickled fruits,
pickled in a mustard based sweet sauce.
