Peas in Tomato Sauce (Revithia Me Saltsa Domata) image

I found this wonderful recipe on greek-recipes.com but it started with dried chick peas. Not having the luxury of time, I ended up remaking the recipe with a slightly more convenient ingredients. This can be served either as a side-dish serving 4 or an entrée serving 2.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped or 2 medium equivalent amount canned tomatoes, diced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
1 tablespoon fresh basil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 cup frozen peas
salt

Steps:

  • Remove peas from the freezer so that they can begin to thaw while the dish is simmering.
  • Add olive oil and onions to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 or 3 minutes until the onions soften a bit. Add the minced garlic and stir a minute.
  • Add the tomatoes (canned and paste), sugar, oregano, basil, and water to the onions. Continue to cook another 5 minutes so that flavors begin to come together. Adjust seasonings as desired at this point. Add zucchini and cook 5 to 8 minutes. The zucchini should be cooked but still firm.
  • Add the thawed peas and stir again until the peas are warm, about 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Serve warm.
