👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and cook onions until soft but not browned, about 5 minutes.

Add peas, tomatoes, potato, dill, salt, and pepper.

Add water if there is not enough liquid from the tomatoes.

Stir thoroughly and bring to a boil.

Lower heat and cook, partially covered, until peas and potato are soft, about 30 minutes.

Ensure that any remaining water from the tomatoes has evaporated before serving.
