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!

How To Make greek dilled peas, potatoes & carrots

Step 1

In a saucepan, saute the green onions in the olive oil until transparent. Add the carrots & potatoes saute for a couple of minutes. Then add the peas & dill, saute for another 4-5 minutes. Finally add the tomatoes and water.

Step 2

Simmer, half covered for about 30 minutes or until peas are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. At this point you should have a nice thick tomato sauce. Season with salt, pepper to taste.
Step 3

Serve hot or at room temperature with Feta cheese on the side if you like. Don't forget the fresh bread to dip in the yummy tomato sauce. Kali Orexi! Enjoy!
