Greek green pea stew

April 20, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Greek green pea stew. A vegan staple Greek dish that belongs to the family of ladera. Cannot miss it.

Does this sound too Greek to you? Of course it does. Firstly, let me explain what ladera is. Ladera dishes is a category of vegetable dishes cooked in olive oil. Actually the word ladera means “with oil”. 

Ladera consist of vegetables, plain or stuffed, cooked in a tomato, onion, garlic, and olive oil sauce, and usually do not contain meat. However, when tomatoes are out of season and there is not the option of canned, lemon juice may also be used.  They may be stewed on the range-top or baked in the oven.

Greek green pea stew may be cooked with other vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots. Or you may find a recipe containing also meat. Mine are meatless, this is the way I enjoy them the most. 

Greek green pea stew typically is served with feta cheese and bread. You can find my recipe for no-kneading bread here. They are often served warm or at room temperature, and are popular in the spring.

Recipe notes

In this recipe, attention should be paid to the liquids that will be added to the pot. What I would suggest is not to add all the water from the beginning, but gradually.

As a result it is better to add less water (eg 500 ml) and if you then see that it needs more then add the rest. The required amount of water will depend on how much water the potato will absorb.
