Eating In

350g/12oz buckwheat
600ml/1pt water
50g/20z butter
350g/12oz red cabbage coarsely chopped (any other cabbage will do)
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 small onion thinly sliced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1tsp thyme
2 tbsp chopped walnuts (or other nuts)
1 tbsp raisins
sour cream
Boil the buckwheat in the water for 30 – 40 minutes until tender. Meanwhile melt the butter in a large pan and add the cabbage, garlic and all the other ingredients. Cook over a gentle heat until the cabbage is tender. Set aside. When the buckwheat is cooked, turn it into the cabbage and mix in well. Add the nuts and raisins. Serve with sour cream or yoghurt. This can be eaten by itself but it goes particularly well with pork.
