• 1
  Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Clean the carrots and cut them into centimeter cubes, do the same with the potatoes. Sort and rinse the peas in a colander.

  Heat the oil in a pot and briefly and sharply fry the carrots. Once they start to take on golden hues in places, add the onion and garlic, a large pinch of salt, oregano, and optionally freshly ground pepper. Stir for a minute until the onion softens and everything becomes fragrant throughout the kitchen.
