Artichokes with peas (Vegan)

Artichokes with peas

My favorite spring dish since I was a little kid--wouldn't eat the usual meat and potatoes, but went for everything exotic and strange.  I prefer to shell fresh peas and peel the artichokes to get to the heart, but here is a much simpler version.

1 kilo frozen peas
500 gr. frozen  artichoke hearts
1 onion
2 spring onions
a handful of washed and chopped dill
salt, pepper, 1/4 tsp sugar
water
3 tablespoons olive oil
lemon juice

Chop the onion and the spring onions.  Saute them in a pressure cooker (or a regular pot) in the olive oil.  When soft, throw in the peas and turn them around a few times for the oil to coat them as much as possible. Throw in the artichokes and do the same.  Sprinkle over the dill, salt, pepper and sugar, pour in just enough water almost to cover but not quite.  Pressure cook for 15 minutes. If you use a conventional pot, you will need about 45 minutes. In this case, check to see if you need to add water during cooking.  Serve with lemon juice.
