This was great!!! I just ran out of oregano so I threw in a handful of Italian spices (oregano, basi, rosemary, etc. and it was great! I'm not an olive or feta cheese fan but loved them in this dish!!!!

Wonderful! Company fare! We added about 1/2 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika, about 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts. Even better reheated!
