Plump, sweet little green peas swimming around in a sauce of tomatoey, dilly goodness – how amazing does that sound? Add a piece of crusty or grilled bread to help sop up all the crazy yummy soupy extra and you’ve got yourself one of the tastiest and simplest meals in Greek cooking. Greek Peas are phenomenal and hands down our absolute favorite way to enjoy peas. They’re perfection right off the stove and even a bit better than that a day or two later! This dish is infinitely scalable and very easy to reheat. In Greece, a big bowl of Arakas Kokinistos is often enjoyed as a meal on its own but they are also the perfect side dish to just about anything you can think of!
