Greek-style green peas in olive oil and tomato sauce

Greek-style green peas in olive oil and tomato sauce

Ingredients:
150-200 ml olive oil
500 grams frozen green peas
1 kg potatoes, peeled and cut in cubes

1 bunch of fresh parsley, washed and chopped
2 large onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
500 grams tomato juice or fresh tomatoes, skinned and chopped
Salt
Pepper
500 ml hot waterbout 

Preparation:
We heat the olive oil in a large cooking pot.  We sautee the onion and the garlic until they get translucent, for about 5 minutes.  We add the tomato, we add the parsley, we stir and we bring to boil.  We add the potatoes and the frozen green peas to the boil and we turn down the heat to a slow simmer.  We add salt and pepper to taste.  We add enough hot water to cover the peas and the potatoes and we cook in low heat, covered, till potatoes are soft and the sauce has thickened.  We stir occasionally, especially towards the end of cooking, when the sauce has thickened and may have a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.This tasty dish is usually served as a main course, but it's excellent as a side dish with fish or meat, sausages, or pork/lamb chops.  When served alone, Greeks customarily serve feta cheese with "Lathera" dishes, not only for its unique taste, but also to add protein to the meal.  Slice up some fresh crusty bread, add a plate of black Kalamata olives and you have a tasty and nutritious, authentic, Greek meal.  Oh, and not to be forgotten, lashings of great Greek wine!

Itadakimasu!
