Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, grated
2-3 carrots, diced
1 pound frozen green peas
2 potatoes, diced
15 ounces tomato puree
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon dried mint
Serve with:
toasted bread
feta
olives
Instructions
Add onion and olive oil to a pot and cook over medium heat until soft and golden.
Add potatoes, carrots, tomato puree, water, salt, and peppers.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and add the peas cook for 25-30 minutes.
Taste sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add dill and mint and stir to incorporate.
This dish tastes best when allowed to sit at least 45 minutes. This allows all the flavors to come together. The potatoes will continue to absorb the sauce and it will naturally thicken and taste wonderful.
Enjoy!
Notes
Add more water at the beginning of cooking if you prefer more sauce at the end of cooking.
For a richer tomato sauce, add 1 teaspoon of tomato paste at the beginning of cooking (after the onion and garlic step) or add extra tomato puree.
For the lemony version: add 3-4 scallions after the onion has softened and cook until the scallions are tender. Add the juice of a lemon with the herbs at the end of cooking and some parsley too.

Looks yummy 😋 and easy. Thanks!🙏😊
Looks amazing.
I remember my mother and yiayia making this delicious food often. Now it's my turn to try. And it looks very easy.❤
We love this! I add more tomatoes to give it a more saucy consistency and more dill to compensate for the extra tomatoes. Delicious!
Queen🌮👑, please🙏 slow down⏰
Wow simple and Delicious recipe
Made this tonight, very last minute. Easy, uncomplicated, in fact I think it’s important to avoid over seasoning this simple dish. I served it with grilled sourdough and not a drop was left. A definite keeper. Thank you so much!!!
This is a regular that my parents make and that I make. We add long green beans, though, and that really works! OPA!
I’ve made this before and it’s delicious
Very nice, I’m excited to try this dish with potatoes and herbs! I used to add some hotdogs to the peas sauce along with some dried thyme (learned this recipe from a girl in my dorms around 25 years ago and it’s a staple in our family 😅)
I'm making this tonight with some leftover lamb fat from the lamb pot roast of yours I made (which was amazing). Thank you for you videos. I'm learning a lot about Greek cooking.
I know what I'm doing with the potatoes I just got from my sister n law. Looks yummy!
❤❤
I love how simple and flavorful this Greek stew seems! I’m eager to try making it myself.
This dish is also good as a meat casserole dish.
Arakas, I knew that word!
👍👍👍
She’s GREEK ! Of course she cooks good🤔😂🤣👍
My wife is Greek and she makes almost the same dish, but with string beans. Fasoulakia. We love it. She adds mint.
I make so many of your recipes for my children (ages 2 & 3), and they can never get enough of my cooking! Thank you for helping me raise two kiddos who are great eaters! 😂
Beautiful thank you Dimitra my Syster name was Dimitra and she loved cooking,
Been thinking about something like this and haven’t had it since I was young and now can make it for myself! It the perfect recipe for me! Will make it tomorrow. Thanks Dimitra! Some crusty bread and Sheep’s Cheese. I can’t wait. It looks so delicious and I remember it that way too! Thanks again! It’s tomorrow now so I’m off to the grocery store for ingredients and crusty bread then back home to make and eat!
Простично, но много вкусно комфортно ястие. По същия начин го приготвям в България, но не добавям маслини и сирене фета. Но с тях идеята е добра. Ще опитам. С удоволствие следя канала ви, защото имате прекрасно присъствие, което изразява любов към към храната.👏👏😄
Μπράβο Δήμητρα! Ένα αγαπημένο μου πιάτο έφτιαξες σήμερα!!! Φοβερό! Ειδικά να το τρως με φέτα και φρέσκο ψωμί!!!
Could it be considered a vegetarian or vegan dish
Cypriot cuisine , was my mother's favorite dish
once a month I still make it
Feta is a must.
this will be my supper tomorrow…looks delicious!
This looks absolutely delicious. I’ve made so many of your recipes and all of them have turned out perfectly. Thanks to you and your excellent instructions and videos. Thank you so much.
This sounds SO good!!! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm just so impressed with how skilled you are in the kitchen, Dimitra. The on-hand frozen garlic, the swapping and subbing of ingredients, the efficient movement and minimization of dishes…your talent and experience shine through in all your videos! I'll try this recipe out this weekend, thanks for posting.
I make this often and the leftovers are even better than the first day. ❤❤❤ one of my fav comfort foods
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll try to make this veggie stew. 😋 I may use sweet potatoes if it's ok.
You ALWAYS make something good ! 🌟
