This recipe is quick and easy to make with frozen peas, frozen artichoke hearts, fresh herbs, and that final touch of lemon juice. It calls for a lot of fresh dill, but if it's too much for your taste, you can use less or the equivalent of dried dill.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 pounds of frozen peas
  • 3/4 pound of frozen artichoke hearts
  • 1 bunch of fresh dill (about 2 1/2 ounces) , stems removed, chopped (or 3-4 tablespoons of dried dill weed)
  • 3 large green onions (chopped)
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes (grated or finely chopped with juice)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • 3/4 cup of olive oil
  • 1 cup of water
  • Juice of 1 to 2 lemons

Steps to Make It

  1. Sauté the onion and dill until the onion softens, add tomatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.

  2. Add peas, artichoke hearts, salt, pepper, and water. Stir well.

  3. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

  4. Turn off heat and add lemon juice.

  5. Shake the pan to distribute (do not stir), cover, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
