Begin by chopping your onion and tomatoes and mincing the garlic. If using fresh peas, shell them and rinse under cold water.

In a medium pot, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they soften, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it burn.

Toss in the chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let this mixture cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down.

Add your green peas to the pot, mixing well. Pour in 1 cup of water to help create a lovely sauce.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cover the pot. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender.

Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve it warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a bright touch.
