Cotechino Sausage - How to Use Cotechino Italian Sausage

[TheKush604]

its called mousette, get it right

[foodwineguy]

No! It's never coat-ta-she-no.  Its always coat-ta-key-no

[mancillado]

I love that he said like three times that traditionally it's served with lentils and people are still pointing out that traditionally it's made with lentils T.T

[sosyPel]

fried cotechino??? OMG we just boil it! in water and for a looooong time :-\ (i'm italian)

[kern0099]

That's like the Italian version of red beans and rice. I looks really tasty! I'd get a nice Italian loaf to slice and mop in the broth.

[montrealstars60]

With the Cotechino (pronounced with a K) it's tradition to use lentils.

[ilikesoopalot]

@Rockymcj the foam on the top is fat and stuff you don't want to eat

[TheDevineBeing]

That Cotechino Italian Sausage is big & thick like my fully erect penis, obviousely its not as long & thick as the Cotechino but its still very large & impressive and thats why the guys love it.

[Rockymcj]

Why do you skim the foam from the top with meat dishes?

[zephyrcui]

Do you own a restaurant? You should serve the food in your videos. I am sure many people will be attracted to your business!

[TheMrXPanda]

john can you adopt me? and 2nd isn't bean "musical" food ._.

so if you put like that must beans wouldn't your house explode ._. and your but will like fart FIRE!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA....­. oh I mean what if that happens? xD

[Rinuzzi]

We usually cook cotechino in boiling water for a very long time.

We change the water every now and then so most of the fat goes into the sink.

I would not recommend to cook a cotechino inside that bean soup... I would separate that and eat lentils instead of beans (with rosemary and/or bayleaf) .

It's 100% NEW YEAR'S DISH! Every single Italian eat that on 31st december!!!!!!

[GOATSAUCE]

where do u find cottechino!!! help!! help!!

[thatsmed13]

You should always taste the food for us! I love it when you taste the food!!!!! :) Love the videos Thanks

[ItsCalledBecs]

god i'm always getting so hungry when i'm watching your videos. it always sounds so delicious

[Orion6699]

I made this with spam and a can of chili. Take your chili and poke a hole in your can of spam (do not microwave!). Simmer for 30 minutes in big pot. Take out your spam and slice into coins like chef john did. Ensure you take it out of the can first. Then fry em up and put them on your chili. Enjoy!

[zerenitythoughts]

@Orion6699 wtf

[edgarhcardona]

@Xanetful please read chef johns blog before the use of cotochino again, thanks

[Quillons1]

Funny, I'm watching this as I am cooking Pasta e fagioli at this very moment. This looks like it would be REALLY good with Pasta e fagioli. Hmmm. Nicely done AS ALWAYS Chef. Thanks and please keep posting.

[ballroomfloor]

dis look nasty af

[pedrogregorio]

@ballroomfloor looks can be deceiving :D

[gansenrouses]

"...the technique of using the sausage..."

thats what she said

[ultratec66]

Wow, my mouth is watering!!!

[trouble1macker202]

Your comment of, "leave it to the Italians..." take out what you said after that... Almost all Italian food is fucking delicious.

[p3p1t0gangsta]

@foodwishes Hi Chef

one question

why do we have to skim the foam from the top when simmer???

it helps in any way???

[Zyric83]

@p3p1t0gangsta I believe its to remove the fat the comes to the surface.

[crowing7]

@p3p1t0gangsta

Because it makes it look less like a bubble bath and more like dinner :)

[Xanetful]

please read an Italian recipe book before use a cotechino again, thanks!

[fatboy2800]

@Xanetful You do realize this is his intepretation of the meal. This is how HE makes it. He's not reading it from a book and making it for your enjoyment.

[Delorian82]

this sausage is also good as a side dish to polenta.

[manuelito1233]

What do you think of Epic Meal Time Chef John ?

[dmitrogg]

Y U MAKE ME HUNGRY Chef John

[amylucimar]

when i grow up i too will use le creuset. haha! this looks amazing. i love the breakfast suggestion too. thanks Chef AWESOME!

[stavros500]

IT looks really disguisting but i know its good cuz its chef jon who made it ;)

[Salazar518]

HI chef John could you do another video some time. using this sausage with eggs like your friends recommended? i would help me out a lot thnx :) or if could you tell me side foods next to the eggs.

[johnmac1221]

Nobody...but nobody is poking my cotechino....

[SunflowerClovers]

Oh ho, Chef John lives in San Francisco?! xD

[TheVittleVlog]

Beans and sausage, I'll take a batch of that!!

[MrTechGuy1995]

John Will you consider making any dessert with red bull as one of the ingredients?

[TheCoolKitchen]

why would you cut the casing off?

other than that, great recipe! i so wanna eat that now...

[kingkrazy0wns]

@TheCoolKitchen mate you're not supposed to eat the casing. The casing is made from a layer of intestine. ;)

[Fotizzz]

At some point i was afraid that you wouldn't fry the cotechino but thank god you did! It's great to see you prepare one of my favourite dishes! Greetings from Greece!

[phily880]

Its vantastic! oh and you must buy red peper flakes by the crate lol.

[ladeestar]

why do we always have to skim the foam at the top?

[kingkrazy0wns]

@ladeestar i think that's fat. if you leave it on, it's pretty unhealthy. xD

[dazebhen1]

john, come to my house and cook for me for a week pls..deal?

[beautifullandcrazy]

PLZ DO SOME CROCK POT DISHES!!! JUST GOT ONE FOR X MAS AND NEED RECIPES NEVER USED 1 B4 TY!

[7kurosawa7]

we normally prepare this dish with the lentils the day of New Year's eve,

the lentils bring the money!

but to the cotecchino I prefer the typical American full turkey!

[MobileMediaProducts]

It looks difficult to eat (using the spoon to cut the sausage), but the medallions look terrific!

[mmdghr]

yummmmmm !!!

[TGram29]

chef john what's your opinion on thisiswhyyou'refat . com?

[TGram29]

i'm hungry

[LucLeFou]

2:07

reminds me of a turd i saw in a toilet once...

[HackerGuitarist]

@ifartwell ...really ?

[clegreen23]

Chef John, will you grant my food wish of teaching us how to make some easy Chinese or Indian inspired dishes? :)

[volnick1986]

Great FOOD and CARS come from Italy. Viva Italia! :)

[avivelevovii]

I hate that this is pork! I LOVE pork but I get rashes from it :( SOOO FRUSTRATING

[xevian]

@avivelevovii

Check out Persian markets, since most don't eat pork, they do make beef sausage, turkey and chicken sausage which they try to make taste like real pork sausage (Roommate is from Egypt and loves turkey sausage). Its a very good alternative for people who don't/can't eat pork. I'd go the turkey route, fries/grills very nicely and (to me) tastes pretty close to regular types of sausages.

[TheSoragirl71293]

@xevian  Thanks for the tip. As an SDA I try to abstain from any pork related products. ^_^

[Fiends4]

If they don't give you a show on the Food Network then this world is truly as crazy and ass backwards as I see it now.

[sus373]

john my good sir, you are a legend

[846524162]

I never understood, why foam should be removed.

[lukasccJJ]

John how is the Tasty Awards going? :)

[AfroLady352]

A dollop of sour cream would be delightful with this dish!

[Aishaoaktree1122]

that looks great and I can't wait to try it thanks for sharing BB

[cbtorneros]

Chef John you are the best. Where can I sample your cooking and possibly shake your hand in SF?

[MarieFace]

So... can any type of bean be used in this dish? Or a certain type.

[jussad]

does it looks like shit? Im just sayin.. No offence -_-

[jockerj]

i love how chef johns comments are always the highest rated comments as well chef john ur bloody brilliant hahah

[charliesgotaguitar]

"that's why I'm proud of half of me" :D

[MissGioggina]

lentils and cotechino, if you want to cook a real italian dish! ;)

[Pebblochka]

Chef John, why didnt u remove that string on the sausage before putting it in the pan??? i dont think it will add some good taste to this dish.

[songy2008]

@Pebblochka the string is used to hold the sausage from opening from sidesduring the simmering.

[iamafractal]

if only they made it without that dang sodium nitrate :-(

[UsernameRogen1978]

The best chef on Youtube

[SDKsa1]

Okay :D so hi again chef john!!

If i was using canned bean it wouldn't take that long right? lol

and ya Because im muslim and i cant have pork meat in here! Can I use a turkey sausage... like its very flavorful and instead of putting just one ill but two?

thanks again :D

[xXShunketsuXx]

the food has been pretty fancy lately

[thepweencess]

i saw that you said hi to someone else.......

whats that supposed to mean

[Seleneninphe]

Cotechino is used to be served with lentils at new year's dinner as a good luck with money ;)

[Orion6699]

Works good with SPAM!

[romanowskistudios]

Thank You so much chef John, I am NOT any type of mandolei, yet I am learning slowly and you are helping. THANK YOU!!!

[GOATSAUCE]

where do i find this cotechino you speak of??

[lauweroos]

I just had a Pavlov moment

[CraftyKoo]

WOW! I can't believe you just posted this! I was at a continental deli today, buying some italian sausages so I can try out your lasagna recipe and I saw these massive cotechino sausages and thought "ooooh, how would you cook those!?" I got home and BAM!... Chef John comes to the rescue.

[murloxjki]

Chef John: I'm gonna show you how to use the sausage!'

Me: Uhm...Right...

[metamorphicmuse]

Cotechino suona molto sensuale. Lasciami sussurrare paroline dolci nell'orecchio. XOXOXO

[anavywife28]

i never heard of this sausage, i doubt ill ever find it

[NicoleNightly]

Every time someone asks me my favorite YouTube channel, I always says yours.. no one has ever left more satisfied ;)

[Voodoofreak35]

I guess it sucks to be an Italian and Jewish!

[ronito666]

my 3,5y old son is your big fan, once I watched video of gordon ramsay, He told me to turn it off because " it's not chef John and chef John is the best" ;) He is very smart kid;) (sorry for my english)

Greetings from Poland

[moreeso]

Lord... Have ....Mercy !!

[fabiochrist]

looks amazing

[SouthernSky]

That's really good but guys check out - Calabrian Sausage. A sausage from Calabria (Italy). The best pasta I've ever eaten in my life was with this thing. This sausage is very smoky and contains a high level of chilli flakes and seeds in it. Ask in your gourmet stores for that.

[Sadin15]

Its too bad I don't eat Pork nor consume alcohol. Would love to try a substitute for that. Any substitute Chef John?

[AmberFaithChloe]

JOHN, can I be your wife????

[VictorRobert]

@AmberFaithChloe if he become ur husband, can i be your step son

[mfdangerdoom899]

@AmberFaithChloe Fuck that I want to be his husband.  He's mine...All mine.

[Gandalfgrey93]

Bean soup with a dick in it ?

[moreeso]

@Gandalfgrey93 well , what ever make you happy

[RachelB263]

Why do you skim the foam? Is there a specific reason for that? Just curious.

[IcyAsh]

@RachelB263 He mentioned in the video it's done to get rid of the fat...

[RachelB263]

@IcyAsh Ohhh, thanks.

[lsolate]

You make me so goddamn hungry. It's 1 am.

Must. Resist. Cravings. Ahhhhhhh

[420kc]

You are so funny!!

[aseriousoffender]

I can imagine this is how he sounds like in his head. :) haha

[uberhappyMay]

man chef johns comment responses are the best

[Pys3n]

@ifartwell you are one lucky guy...

[loopasars]

I've never heard of cranberry beans..true story

[janlalala]

you are so damn funny lol:D

[clo5ure]

JOHN YOU ARE A STRAIGHT UP BEAST

[ChoChoquota]

@clo5ure his wife calls him "beefcake" :P

[cococourtknee]

The 'coin' at 2:30 looks like a face.

[kce003]

Love your videos. I wish i was not a poor college student and could make all of these. I can barely afford ramen.

[Twinman2]

Do you really have to take the skin out or is it just an American thing? I like sausage with skin....

[BowToMySkill]

Thumbs up if this vid made your dick hurt!!!!

[jplanejazz]

@BowToMySkill Thumbs up if you're getting sick of all the penis references to every sausage recipe Chef John films...

[jplanejazz]

@jplanejazz on second thoughts, don't thumbs up that, because it's lame trying to see how many thumbs up you can get.

[foodwishes]

@ifartwell Just kidding! Hi! (your life is now complete)

[thepweencess]

@foodwishes fuck i wanted that hi!

[LINAKI123]

@foodwishes hey i want that too

[Mimelo13]

@foodwishes I laughed so hard when I read these comments xDD

[foodwishes]

@ifartwell no

[zironu]

Chef John, I hope this doesn't sound weird, but you have the most soothing voice of any cooking show host I've ever seen/heard. (Maybe it's a combination of that and the music, haha.)

Aside from that, I love your shows - I instantly became a fan and am slowly becoming an addict. They're both comforting and inspiring, (for some reason, my cooking repertoire grows every time I watch an upload!) not to mention fun to watch, so please continue.

-A young college student-

[foodwishes]

@zironu Thanks! The soothing part is because I'm basically hypnotizing everyone during these videos. Once I have everyone under my spell, I will begin to have you all do my biding. That's going to be pretty sweet.

[joyjoyooO]

@foodwishes hahaha gotta say......thats really awesome. and everytime i watch ur videos , its really truly relaxing..

[russtex]

Wow....that sausage looks great!!

[nls8520]

"So proud of half of me!" Same here chef John, half Italian.

[KungFuSnuggles]

I like your voice! I have yet to try your recipes but I want to try this one! Looks yummy!!! Thank you for posting these vids!

[evilsasuke]

Bondage sausage.

[MUDSWAT]

If you make a video on it, I know it taste good.

[rusPiglets]

Thanks for showing me how to use the... sausage :)

[TheCulinaryTeen16]

Did you buy that online, or at your local supermarket?

[superbloody24]

im polish and my grandma make that kind of sausage. its delicious

[AntoDamicoShow]

I love these Italian food video's of yours, and you act italian, I'm fully italian from Montréal, but I'm only 17, but I follow tradition closely (food not religion)

[nuROMANTICS]

it drives me crazy when you say vantastic...

[DJBigMD]

this is traditional on the balkans, and is called "pasul so sodzuk" beans with sausage....

[forrestgumby]

That looks sooooo good. I just wish I didn't miss miss the payment for this month's smell-o-vision subscription.

[SkidMarkDSC]

you always say enjoy, but you keep torturing us with how good the food is..

ARGHHH

[bayislove]

ewwwwww!!!!!

[EckoOwnage]

also Chef John, i really want to become a Chef one day, but can you please give recommendations of culinary schools? Thanks

[foodwishes]

@EckoOwnage Don't go to culinary school. Work in a restaurant first, for at least a year, then decide of you want to go to culinary school.

[devastaticon]

aw man, in my head i said "oh my god, he pronounced it correctly!" and then u ruined it lol

thanks John! :)

[MissPonderosa]

Chef John your a great chef but your not very nice in some of your replies. People are genuinely asking you a question sometimes and you shut them down :( Perhaps its misconception of the internet from my part but nice is always better :)

PS. so very looking forward to some delicious dessert dishes you have hidden away ready to make a video on :P...mmm

[foodwishes]

@MissPonderosa anyone that doesn't understand I am kidding will eventually learn that I'm kidding... or not. I think it's hilarious to give one word answers, and really I do this all to amuse myself.

P.S. Yes, lots of new desserts on the way.

[Gilgamesh417]

@foodwishes Appreciation of dry wit takes time. Plus, there just isn't the same verbal intonation.

[NicoleNightly]

@MissPonderosa Yes misconception because he is so very nice and funny =)

[ARabidPigeon]

First I wanted Chef John's Balls. Now I want his sausage in my mouth.

[chewdafood]

@ARabidPigeon ew.. i think you just crossed the line that splits fan-ism and just being plain creepy...

[RedDragonSmaug]

@ARabidPigeon ROFL XD

[Jojeezful]

I wonder what the other half of u is...? lol

[kapachangos]

reminds me of fabada.

[whosaiducaneatmario]

would be great with some spinach :D

[taramisuu]

you're half Italian? what's the other half?

[AdorkableFufu]

I think I love you

[ballietbran]

hey, i'm gonna unsubscribe. this channel was not how it used to be!!

[ballietbran]

hey, make dessert video!!!

[bobobobobob93]

ya forgot da cayanne

[TheSoundDepo]

Deeeeeeelicious!!!!!!

[nadeeyaafiza]

Ahahahahaha no offense but the sausage name is so funny..Cotechino..

p/s: In my country it means Chino penis :P..

[YT747]

One person thought this video was about the beans.

[foodwishes]

@YT747 Now that's funny. :-)

[tiffanympm]

Crispy..... ohhhh so good.

[nadeeyaafiza]

Chef John, u should join the US Masterchef...

[foodwishes]

@nadeeyaafiza Over-qualified

[TerrorWatcher]

@foodwishes How bout joining just to show off and completely stomp the other contestants then winning?

[bund31]

@nadeeyaafiza or maybe hells kitchen!!!

[BlackFrostFire101]

@bund31

:S Hell's Kitchen is for amateur chef.

Perhaps working with Ramsay himself? :)

[JoeyPhilipHernandez]

mmm sausage. ...now how do i say that without sounding gay......

[foodwishes]

@JoeyPhilipHernandez too late

why do you skim the foam? is
