Step 1

To prepare this delicious Greek peas and potatoes recipe (Arakas laderos), heat half the olive oil in a medium sized pot. Sauté the red onions and fresh onions until soft. Add carrots, potatoes and tomato paste and sauté 2 more minutes.

Step 2

Add the grated tomatoes and enough hot water so that the ingredients are covered just a bit.

Step 3

Bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes (without the lid), until the potatoes have softened a bit.

Step 4

Add the peas, fresh dill and the remaining olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Mix well, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, until peas are soft and water is gone. (they should only be left with the olive oil.)

Step 6

Serve at room temperature with crumbled feta cheese and crusty bread.
