Cucumbers and Radishes in Yogurt Sauce
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 6 servings
This salad is technically called “smashed cucumber and radishes in yogurt sauce”. That’s because the recipe calls for you to dig in and smash the vegetables into bite size pieces – in the process, you release some of the best flavors of each of the two primary ingredients!

Ingredients
  • 8 oz dried wide egg noodles
  • 1 cup frozen green peas
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced
  • 12 oz fully cooked smoked sausage (i.e. kielbasa), cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 medium cabbage, cored, quartered, and shredded

  2. Stir in the peas and cook until al dente (approx. 2 minutes more)
  3. Drain well, then return the noodles and peas to the warm pot and stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cover to keep warm.
  4. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add the kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (approx. 5 minutes).
  5. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the kielbasa to the medium pot and recover.
  6. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the now-empty large pot.
