ARAKAS (Greek Peas in Tomato Sauce)

I’m half Greek and I’m a Greek food addict. I don’t really appreciate the Greek food you find in most Greek restaurants around the Boston area. Those restaurants make fatty, greasy, salty, Americanized Greek food. I like the farm-fresh, simple, delicious Greek food you find at say a Taverna in Greece.

One of my go-to Greek dishes is Arakas. I cook Arakas a lot because it’s so easy to make, and takes you back to the motherland. If you like Greek food, make this dish!
