How to make - ARAKAS- Traditional Greek Vegetarian Dish
This is a traditional Greek Vegetarian, vegan dish and one that I love very much - a humble but very yummy pea stew.
Arakas - in Greek means peas :-)
Peas cooked with carrots, potatoes in a delicious tomato and olive oil sauce. This dish falls under the category of 'ladera' which literally translated means 'oily' - cooked in olive oil...which as you know is the principal element of the Greek diet.
In the summer, its great to use fresh peas, but I make this all year round, using frozen peas - like in this video. Its so much easier and you have a delicious and most importantly healthy meal whenever you like.
It's a dish that you will find in every Greek home and I am sure you will love it. Give it a go!
For Arakas - you will need:
500g frozen peas
2 medium potatoes
2 small carrots
2 medium onions
half a tin of chopped tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tablespoon fresh dill
Salt and pepper
*This dish can also be frozen - which means you have a healthy meal ready in your freezer.
Good luck! Enjoy!

I just made this and it is unbelievably good. These ingredients on their own does not sound that exciting but together in this combination is very very good!

Nice presentation. It’s nice to listen and watch you make this tasty dish. I like the addition of carrots that is not always used but for me it is a great taste. Yes some feta and a good crusty bread go great with it. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year! 🎉

Welcome! Thank you so much for your kind words and you are absolutely right...Greek food is tasty and healthy. Thank you and I hope you enjoy watching :-)
Not a dish found in Tavernas I agree, but our favourite (UK spelling) Estiatorio has it as a staple dish. As popular as a takeaway as a meal to be ate at the Estiatorio itself.
I tried it twice and each time it was super delicious and I am about to make it right now again😍

Good video. I'd add some ginger and red hot pepper to the sautéed onions to give the Arakas some heat.
