Greek Style Peas Arakas Latheros Recipes

ARAKAS LATHEROS (GREEK PEAS WITH TOMATO AND DILL)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook onions until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add peas, tomatoes, potato, dill, salt, and pepper. Add water if there is not enough liquid from the tomatoes.
• Stir thoroughly and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cook, partially covered, until peas and potato are soft, about 30 minutes. Ensure that any remaining water from the tomatoes has evaporated before serving.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium sized pot.
• Sauté onions until soft. Add carrots and potatoes and sauté 3-4 minutes more.
• Add peas and heat and mix until all peas are covered in the olive oil.
• Add the tomato, dill, pepper and a half teaspoon salt. Add enough hot water so that the peas are covered just a bit (about ¼ cup).
• Mix well and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, until peas are soft and water is gone-they should only be left with the olive oil.
• Serve at room temperature with feta and bread. Add salt as needed.
