Greek Green Peas & Potato Stew: Arakas Laderos

[@michaelnicola5210]

Made this tonight, very last minute. Easy, uncomplicated, in fact I think it’s important to avoid over seasoning this simple dish. I served it with grilled sourdough and not a drop was left. A definite keeper. Thank you so much!!!

[@ronalddevine9587]

My wife is Greek and she makes almost the same dish, but with string beans. Fasoulakia. We love it. She adds mint.

[@DimitrasDishes]

I love fasolakia :)

[@alexarvanitis4331]

I'm just so impressed with how skilled you are in the kitchen, Dimitra. The on-hand frozen garlic, the swapping and subbing of ingredients, the efficient movement and minimization of dishes...your talent and experience shine through in all your videos! I'll try this recipe out this weekend, thanks for posting.

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you noticed those little tips and tricks-I always aim to make cooking as efficient and enjoyable as possible. I hope you love the recipe! Let me know how it turns out. 😊

[@yvonnecusmano7971]

We love this! I add more tomatoes to give it a more saucy consistency and more dill to compensate for the extra tomatoes. Delicious!

[@memocyp7549]

Cypriot cuisine , was my mother's favorite dish once a month I still make it

[@AnneCherch]

I remember my mother and yiayia making this delicious food often. Now it's my turn to try. And it looks very easy.❤

[@giannislainas5187]

Feta is a must.

[@ariella1357]

Oh yes, the feta is a must!!

[@alexandriaofatlantis]

I make so many of your recipes for my children (ages 2 & 3), and they can never get enough of my cooking! Thank you for helping me raise two kiddos who are great eaters! 😂

[@DimitrasDishes]

You are so welcome!

[@nixoledenise3421]

I make this often and the leftovers are even better than the first day. ❤❤❤ one of my fav comfort foods

[@DimitrasDishes]

I couldn’t agree more! The flavors really do deepen the next day, making it even more comforting. So glad it’s one of your favorites too! ❤️

[@Kathiyawadikhana]

Wow simple and Delicious recipe

[@FrenchDanceParty]

I'm making this tonight with some leftover lamb fat from the lamb pot roast of yours I made (which was amazing). Thank you for you videos. I'm learning a lot about Greek cooking.

[@helenmalandrakis9746]

This is one of those dishes from my childhood that I loved. Good memory ❤

Μπράβο Δήμητρα! Ένα αγαπημένο μου πιάτο έφτιαξες σήμερα!!! Φοβερό! Ειδικά να το τρως με φέτα και φρέσκο ψωμί!!!

[@DimitrasDishes]

Σ' ευχαριστώ πολύ! Χαίρομαι πάρα πολύ που σου άρεσε το πιάτο! Συμφωνώ, η φέτα και το φρέσκο ψωμί το κάνουν ακόμα πιο απολαυστικό! Καλή όρεξη! 😊

[@dars957]

Looks yummy 😋 and easy. Thanks!🙏😊

[@ariella1357]

Very nice, I’m excited to try this dish with potatoes and herbs! I used to add some hotdogs to the peas sauce along with some dried thyme (learned this recipe from a girl in my dorms around 25 years ago and it’s a staple in our family 😅)

[@joeyk5]

I’ve made this before and it’s delicious

[@pennylane428]

This looks absolutely delicious. I’ve made so many of your recipes and all of them have turned out perfectly. Thanks to you and your excellent instructions and videos. Thank you so much.

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed the recipes and that they've turned out perfectly for you. Your support means a lot to me. Happy cooking! 😊

[@pennylane428]

@@DimitrasDishes I’m making the blueberry cream crinkle cake today. I can’t wait, because like you, I love custard and you always make sure to do it just spot on. My motto is “if a little is good, more is better”😍cream…butter…feta

[@karynajabrail5035]

We make it Arabic as I am . So good!a lot but different but delicious

[@DimitrasDishes]

Good to know! Thanks for your support :)

[@Aquababyblue]

I make the Greek version often. I’m sure I would love the Arabic version as I love Arabic food! Could you share your recipe? Thanks.

[@EL-qr9kl]

​@@Aquababyblue unsure about which arabic version is talking about. But in morocco we make this either in a regular pot or a clay pot (tajine, which is better), and we put curcuma and ginger along with parsley and a bit of coriander (i prefer using ground coriander than fresh, but that's just personal preference)... It's more or less the same method as the video, we usually add meat either chicken or beef/lamb (meat needs to cook first to avoid veggies ending up mushy) You can also add a bit of preserved lemons, it really elevates the taste, and a few green olives would work too

[@Taras-Nabad]

Looks amazing.

[@Stephenrsm7600]

This sounds SO good!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@DimitrasDishes]

You are so welcome!

[@nickandrews3834]

This is a regular that my parents make and that I make. We add long green beans, though, and that really works! OPA!

[@sunset6010]

You ALWAYS make something good ! 🌟

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thank you so much! 😊 Your support means the world to me. Happy cooking!

[@smokinwithskruggs]

I know what I'm doing with the potatoes I just got from my sister n law. Looks yummy!

[@ASpiro-c4l]

this will be my supper tomorrow...looks delicious!

[@antoniodelrey164]

Been thinking about something like this and haven’t had it since I was young and now can make it for myself! It the perfect recipe for me! Will make it tomorrow. Thanks Dimitra! Some crusty bread and Sheep’s Cheese. I can’t wait. It looks so delicious and I remember it that way too! Thanks again! It’s tomorrow now so I’m off to the grocery store for ingredients and crusty bread then back home to make and eat!

[@DimitrasDishes]

That sounds wonderful! I'm so glad this recipe brought back memories for you. It’s always special when food can do that. Enjoy your trip to the grocery store and have fun making the dish! Don’t forget the crusty bread and sheep’s cheese-they’ll make it even better. Let me know how it turns out! 😊

[@antoniodelrey164]

⁠@@DimitrasDishes will do. Thanks! Just finished my second bowl. No need to tell you because you know but it’s delicious and so easy to make. And I bought the crustiest Italian Tuscan bread to dip in it…Thanks for another great recipe and enjoy your weekend.

[@nickfilopoulos7428]

Beautiful thank you Dimitra my Syster name was Dimitra and she loved cooking,

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll try to make this veggie stew. 😋 I may use sweet potatoes if it's ok.

[@DimitrasDishes]

You're very welcome! 💕 Sweet potatoes sound like a delicious twist-definitely give it a try! I bet it’ll turn out amazing. 😋 Enjoy, Tanya mou!

Простично, но много вкусно комфортно ястие. По същия начин го приготвям в България, но не добавям маслини и сирене фета. Но с тях идеята е добра. Ще опитам. С удоволствие следя канала ви, защото имате прекрасно присъствие, което изразява любов към към храната.👏👏😄
