Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, sliced (as big as you like)
  • 8 ounces green cabbage, sliced about 1/4 inch wide
  • 1/2 cup kasha -- whole
  • 1 - 2 chorizo links, or other smoky and/or spicy sausage
  • 1 cup water, heated
  • 2 ounces short twisted pasta
  • salt, pepper

Method

  • Heat the olive oil in a wide saucepan with a cover. Saute the onion until it starts to soften. Add the cabbage, stir until it starts to wilt. Then add the kasha, stirring to let it toast a bit.
  • Cut the sausage lengthwise, then in slices. Add to the pan, stirring to let all the flavors interact until it is fragrant.
  • Pour in the heated water, and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer 15 minutes, or until the kasha is cooked.
  • Cook the pasta in boiling salted water, then drain. Gently combine the pasta with the kasha pot contents. Season with salt and (generously) fresh ground pepper.
