Prepare the artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and trimming the stems. Cut the pointed top off each artichoke and scoop out the fibrous choke. Rub the exposed areas with lemon juice to prevent browning and set the hearts aside in a bowl of water with a little additional lemon juice.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced carrots and cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir well and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Drain the artichoke hearts from the lemon water and add them to the pot. Stir gently to combine with the other vegetables.
Pour in 3 cups of water, ensuring the vegetables and artichokes are just covered. Add the salt and ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the artichokes and potatoes are tender.
Add the frozen peas and fresh dill to the pot. Stir gently and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed. Remove the pot from the heat and let the dish cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread and a drizzle of fresh olive oil, if desired. Enjoy!
