  1. Our family really liked this dish. A very colorful dish to look at too. We substituted 2 tablespoons of chicken broth for the water. This worked well and added a little flavor. We will try again using less feta cheese or substituting it with a different type of cheese. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. What a delicious and beautiful dish, I used some homemade stewed tomatoes instead of the chopped garlic and oregano because it already had the ingredients in it, I also added some grape tomatoes. Loved the feta and olives. I will try this again with different cheese combinations...love the versitility! Thanks Dear Derf!!
     
  3. A very nice change of pace. I used one of the alternatives, fresh basil and mozzarella.
