Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a large stockpot or cast-iron pot set over medium-low heat. Add the onion and chorizo and let cook, stirring occasionally until the onion softens, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and continue cooking until the mixture turns fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

2. Add the water and potatoes, raise the heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10-15 minutes.

3. Add the cabbage and beans and simmer until cabbage wilts, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and season with 2 tablespoons salt and pepper to taste. Add lemon juice and taste to adjust seasonings. Divide into bowls and serve drizzled with additional olive oil.
