Ingredients
  

  • 1 white onion diced
  • 2 shallots finely chopped
  • 1 spring onion chopped
  • 2 carrots roughly chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves roughly crushed
  • 1 cup tomato sauce/passata
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups frozen peas
  • 3-4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • A few dried mint leaves
  • Vegetable stock enough to cover the vegetables
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 pinch of chili flakes
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the ingredients: Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized cubes. Roughly chop the carrots and finely chop the onions, shallots and spring onions. Roughly crush the garlic cloves.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the bay leaves, all the onions (white, shallots, spring), carrots, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, potatoes, oregano, black pepper, and chili flakes. Pour in enough vegetable stock to just cover the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potato cubes.
  • Finish cooking: When the potatoes are nearly tender, add the peas, fresh dill, and dried mint. Continue cooking until the potatoes are fully soft, and the sauce has reduced to your liking, 5-10 minutes
  • Serve: Enjoy the dish on its own, with crusty bread, or topped with vegan feta cheese
