I only used 1 T. oil for this recipe, but did the rest as written. This recipe is delicious! Fabulous. We used the sauce over ravioli, but could use it on many things, even baked chicken. Will definitely use it many times, and tell friends. Question: why so much oil? NOT necessary and not good for you. I cooked the sauce down in a wide saucepan and it is NOT runny at all.

very tasty sauce. I used green olives instead...

Easy and delicious sauce. I used tomato sauce instead of vegetable juice (that's all I had), replaced the wine with 1/2 cup apple jucie, and I only used about 2 tbs. oil total. Will definitely make again.

this is an excellent recipe. although, i thought it was a bit too runny so i added 1 6oz can of tomato paste right after i added the tomato/vegetable juice. maybe even add just half a cup of wine instead of a full cup.. it was very prominent in my mixture. a word to the wise, also. if you get large green bell peppers, 2 or 3 are PLENTY. i cut up way too many. just a warning. all in all.. excellent. thanks for posting this. i will enjoy it weekly. :)

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. :)

What a change from the regular old red sauce! It is very mediterranean, and would be great with some feta crumbled on top. Very nice.
