I had to improvise on this one, based on what I had on hand. I used on the vine tomatoes and a mix of black and green olives, because I didn’t have kalamatas. My oven was already going at 350 degrees, so I used that temperature and baked these for only about 15 minutes. I just wanted to warm them through and didn’t want them turning to mush. These were very good, but probably would have been a little better with the kalamata olives. I’ll use those next time. I also toasted my pinenuts in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until golden. I think that’s easier and you don’t have to stir constantly for 3-4 minutes as indicated in the recipe. I’ll make this again!

I made these for friends and they were absolutely delicious. I made the recipe as written (although I didn't measure very precisely) and they came out perfectly. I mixed in a little garlic and herb feta with the original to spice them up a bit as well. I highly recommend this recipe for guests.

I made these just as the recipe specified and they came out EXCELLENT! They are a little on the rich side, but the flavor is superb! Would make a great crowd pleaser!

A friend made this recipe before I had tried it myself and it was fabulous! A few weeks later I made it myself and not only was it easy to prepare, but it turned out great! I got so many compliments on it and even passed out the recipe to a few more friends.
