A super tasty plant-based dish that is also gluten-free. It cooks in no time and is perfect for a midweek meal.
Ingredients
- 1 kg of frozen green peas
- One tin of chopped tomatoes in tomato juice
- One large onion diced
- 2 – 3 carrots sliced (optional)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- A handful of fresh dill chopped or 1 tsp dried
- 150 ml of water
- Salt and pepper to taste
To serve
- Cooked rice or couscous or pasta
- A pinch of chopped fresh dill (optional)
- A few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
- A pinch of paprika (optional)
Method
Prep:
Dice the onion, slice the carrots and chop the fresh dill. Keep some dill to serve with when cooked.
Wiz the chopped tomatoes if you prefer a smoother sauce consistency.
Cook:
Heat the oil in a saucepan and saute the onions on low heat for 5 minutes.
Season with the salt and pepper.
When the onions are soft and translucent, add the frozen peas and the carrots. Stir gently for a minute.
Add the tinned tomatoes, the dill, the water, and bring to a boil.
Stir and cover.
Allow to cook for 30 minutes or until the peas and the carrots are soft.
Remove the lid 5 minutes before it finishes cooking for the sauce to thicken.
Serve:
I like to accompany this dish with rice because it is gluten-free, but it tastes equally lovely over pasta or couscous.
Sprinkle on top some fresh dill, paprika, and drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
