saute onions and garlic together until transparent. Add tomatoes,
parsley and oregano. Simmer, covered, until the tomatoes are very
tender, 20-25 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook another 20
minutes.
Sauce keeps well refigerated, for 3-4 days. Makes about 6 cups.
Mix 2 cups of the sauce above with the clam juice. Place shrimp in
the bottom of a heavy skillet or casserole. Cover with the sauce and
top with the Feta. Place skillet on high heat and bring to a fast
simmer, covered. Reduce heat and cook until shrimp are cooked, or
about 8-10 minutes. Uncover, stir cheese to mix and serve.
May also be baked at 475 deg F, rather than cooked on the
stove-top. Bake for about 15 minutes, uncovered, or until bubbly.
Suggestions: Good served over spiral vegetable flavored pasta.
