This vegetable dish couples artichokes and peas with a flavorful lemon-infused sauce that is generously seasoned with dill. Arakas me aginares, which translates as artichoke with peas, is occasionally enriched with potatoes, other fresh herbs, and tomatoes or tomato preserve.

Though it can be enjoyed throughout the year, this Greek classic is traditionally prepared during the fasting period and is typically enjoyed as a main course, accompanied by bread and feta cheese on the side.
