I just love #3 from the preparation list, lol.

oo this sounds really yummy. Any ideas on what you can use instead of olives?

That's the most important step!

Edit:
Well, Marie I'm not really sure. See, the wine and the olives balance the structure of it. Even people that don't like olives like this dish. The olives take on a slightly sweet tone combined with the sweet grape tomatoes. And over the rice, the olives really get toned down. However, you might try pine nuts. Just temper the wine accordingly.

I made this when you posted it the first time. We liked it. I would use fewer olives the next time, to tone it down a bit. Maybe only 1/4 cup. :D

[Marie]

Yeah I don't like olives at all but the rest sounds great.

[arcoiris]

Let me know how it works without the olives! I'd be interested to know.

[Marie]

i'm going to put sweet bell peppers in there instead. I read somewhere that we can use those. We shall see! I'll let you know later.
