Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only an estimate and can vary based on the products used.
- Instead of 2 bouillon cubes + 2 cups of water, you can use 2 cups of veggie broth.
- Serve arakas on its own with good bread and cheese like gruyere or feta or a side dish to grilled steak, chicken, or fish.
- You can add two carrots chopped in 1/2 inch coins and two, three potatoes cut in large cubes to this dish for a variation on this recipe. Don't stir the ingredients all together while they cook not to let the potatoes fall apart; shake the pot once and a while to move things around.
