In a large pot, heat ⅓ cup olive oil. Add the chopped scallions and sauté for a minute.
Add the peas, the water, the bouillons and the dill. Stir well. Bring to a boil than reduce heat and simmer for 30 min or until peas are soft but still hold their round shape.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste and serve.
Notes
Instead of 2 bouillon cubes + 2 cups of water, you can use 2 cups of veggie broth.
Serve arakas on its own with good bread and cheese like gruyere or feta or a side dish to grilled steak, chicken, or fish.
You can add two carrots chopped in 1/2 inch coins and two, three potatoes cut in large cubes to this dish for a variation on this recipe. Don't stir the ingredients all together while they cook not to let the potatoes fall apart; shake the pot once and a while to move things around.
