i'm a student and this was pretty much my first proper attempt at cooking... very easy, straightforward, and satisfying. extremely satisfying, actually.. i'm in one of those post-eating good food phases right now, where you feel dazed and like you're on a high :) thank you for this one. i did alter it a little.. used about 2 teaspoons of cajun instead of crushed pepper, because i wanted more zing and thats all i had, and used about 3/4ths of a can of ready tomato juice because i had no idea how many ounces it was and gambled. i didn't have white wine on me, so i used red wine instead.. also not sure if i cooked it long enough, because the sauce was still a bit oily.. i did take the other reviewers tip and use feta cheese. that was perfection. want to try the original recipe next time, but i love what i had, and so did my housemates. i avoid salt completely, but sprinkled this generously with whole peppercorns and ground blackpepper. the peppercorns really work with the olives in this one, at times. my first meal, and it was a success even with the mistakes and changes i made. :)
