How to Make Arakas Greek Fresh Green Peas In Tomato Sauce

  1. Rinse 1 pound of fresh green peas under cold water and drain thoroughly.
  2. Sautee 1 medium onion, finely chopped, in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, the drained peas, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 2 tablespoons of fresh dill, chopped. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add 1 cup of water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, stir gently, cover, and simmer for 50 minutes, or until the peas are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
