Submitted by Samantha in Ut

"The Sicilian-style tomato sauce has tons of Mediterranean flavor, thanks to the orange peel, olives, and oregano."

This was fabulous! Living in Costa Rica though, it's tough to find some basic ingredients. I used plain canned tomatoes, but added fresh garlic, oregano and basil at the same time as the wine. Used Kalamata olives instead of green olives. And of course the Mahi (Dorado, here) was fresh out of the sea this morning. The sauce was very similar to a putanesca, and served it with some leftover rice. Yum! Next time, will make some homemade tagliatelle noodles.
