Ingredients

  • 1 pound peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 1 potato cut in bite size pieces
  • 2 medium grated tomatoes or 10-12 ounce can of chopped tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped dill
  • Salt/Pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat olive oil in a medium sized pot.
  2. Sauté onions until soft. Add carrots and potatoes and sauté 3-4 minutes more.
  3. Add peas and heat and mix until all peas are covered in the olive oil.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. Serve at room temperature with feta and bread. Add salt as needed.
