Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 pound frozen green peas
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or water)
- Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), green peas, dill, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Pour in the vegetable broth (or water). Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the peas are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon wedges, if desired. Crusty bread is also a great accompaniment.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of sugar or a small piece of potato to the stew while it simmers. The potato will thicken the sauce slightly.
