I made this in the morning, before leaving for work, and we had it at lunch today, at room temperature (which is the temperature a lot of Greek food is enjoyed at). I have to say that I found the amount of olive oil called for excessive. I used a 1/2 cup (probably too much by most Western standards, but just fine for this Greek lady) and it really was more than enough. The sauce cooks and breaks down and is exceedingly flavourful. When the fish is added and its juices are released - heaven! Thanks for a great lunch!
