Braised peas with potatoes

or Arakas Latheros

My friend came for a tea (who is Greek) and was telling me how she cooks this pea dish with lamb chops. When we had a power outage, I had everything for this meal and it was more delicious than what I imagined. As with a lot of Greek food, there is a lot of olive oil but it is what makes this dish so good, so don’t skimp on it and always use extra virgin olive oil. You can eat these peas with whatever you want, it doesn’t have to be meat. Olives and some bread to mop it up with and some feta on top would also be nice.
