Used different ingredients.
I made this for dinner tonight, as a side with steak, and we found it very tasty. It might have been even better if I had remembered to add the oregano, but truthfully I didn't miss it. I only realised that it was missing when I came to do this review. I used Portabello mushrooms and since I was out of olive oil I used a bit of saflower oil and a bit of butter for the sauce. Thank you Mary for a lovely dish. Next time I will make sure I have all the right ingredients on hand and that I add them all. LOL..

Took shortcuts.
This recipe was amazing. My whole family loved it. I added in the black olives with the garlic and mushrooms to saute. I also didn't blanch the tomatoes, and they turned out great. I just chopped them up and added them to the saute pan for the last few minutes. Then sprinked with feta when done. Yummy!! Will make again.

Used different ingredients.
this was very tasty and had an authentic mediterranean taste to it. I thought the sauce needed a little spice though and added tabasco and some cayenne pepper. I used tinned tomatoes which worked fine. we'll definitely make this again

Easy
Made this for a Greek Easter meal and it turned out great! I would allow extra time than stated but otherwise great! Was a hit with the crowd. We used the feta and olives as an optional topping. I would make it again too for regular dinners. Fun to make too.
