This dish is among the "Lathera" meaning cooked in oil (olive oil), spring, summer & early Fall, favorites. Usually meatless dishes cooked in a olive oil based sauce including tomatoes & garlic. Especially appreciated during Lent when meat and dairy products are traditionally restricted. I find it to be easier when using frozen peas, even when in season. Fresh peas can be substituted for the frozen, though, but not canned. This is my family's & my favorite vegetable dish. Hope you try it and enjoy a good healthy Greek meal. Kali Orexi! Have a good appetite!
