Arakas Me Anitho: Greek Dilled Peas With Peppers

Um Safia's Note:

This is an authentic Greek dish, which is incredibly easy to make - just put everything in a pot and it makes its own magic. Peas, lots of fresh dill, red and green peppers, and green onions simply cook together without interference to make a delicious side dish. Recipe by Nancy Gaifyllia, she says "Dilled peas with red and green peppers falls into the lathera group of foods, which means "cooked with oil."The tastes of the dill, peas, and peppers are wonderfully enhanced by the taste of the oil".

A very enjoyable dish! We had this at room temp as part of a buffet of Greek salads and vegetable dishes and it was a great success. This verey simple treatment of the ingredients really brings out the best in each.
