Main Ingredients

  • 450 g peas peeled
  • 120 g olive oil
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 potatoes cut in cubes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 300 g ripe tomatoes grated
  • 1-2 fresh onions chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • To prepare this delicious Greek peas and potatoes recipe (Arakas laderos), heat half the olive oil in a medium sized pot. Sauté the red onions and fresh onions until soft. Add carrots, potatoes and tomato paste and sauté 2 more minutes.
  • Add the grated tomatoes and enough hot water so that the ingredients are covered just a bit.
  • Bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes (without the lid), until the potatoes have softened a bit.
  • Add the peas, fresh dill and the remaining olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Mix well, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until peas are soft and water is gone. (they should only be left with the olive oil.)
  • Serve at room temperature with crumbled feta cheese and crusty bread.
