🧂 Ingredients

1 lb. Peas

fresh or frozen
1 Onion

2 Tomatoes

medium sized & grated / or 10-12 oz. can of chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

1 Heat olive oil in medium sized pot
2 Sauté onions until soft. Add carrots and potatoes and sauté 3-4 minutes longer
3 Add peas and mix until all peas are covered in the olive oil
4 Add tomato, dill (optional), pepper and a half a teaspoon of salt. Add enough
hot water so that the peas are barely covered (about ¼ cup)
5 Mix well and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes until
peas are soft, the water is gone – and the olive oil remains

classic cheese that we eat with this very traditional Greek dish, but feel free
to use any other kind of cheese your family likes) Enjoy!
