Leave them whole and use them in soup (minestra, minestrone) the way you would use a ham bone. After long, slow simmering the meat will fall off the bone and both meat and bone will flavor the soup. Flavor component combines well with beans, celery or starch (pasta).

Perhaps a Frittata or Spanish Tortilla w/potatoes?

Beans and peas come to mind of course - or chop them up into minestrone, or in a pasta and cream sort of thing. Quiche? Quick bread? many options!!!
