Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 500 grams green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 4 medium tomatoes, finely chopped or grated
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 250 milliliters water or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the green peas to the pot and stir to coat them in the onion and garlic mixture.
Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, and water or vegetable stock. Mix well to combine.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using fresh peas, adjust the cooking time as needed until they are tender.
Once the peas are tender and the sauce has thickened, remove the pot from the heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or as a side dish to your main meal.
