I olive (5g) contains 24kJ, 0,5g fat and 0,2g carbs.

  • Toss a drained jar of Kalamata-style olives with a few cloves of whole garlic, one or two whole fresh chillies and a few sprigs of rosemary. Roast slowly in a pre-heated I60 degrees celcius oven until soft and wrinkled. Serve as a snack with drinks or add to salads or pasta sauces.

  • If you are using olives in slow cooked pasta sauces or stews, only add them about I0 minutes before the end of cooking time, otherwise the whole dish will get a bitter flavour.

  • To make a quick tapenade, whizz one jar of de-pipped olives in a food processor with 2 anchovies (optional), a good squeeze of lemon juice, I–2 cloves garlic, I T capers. Season with milled pepper and use to spread on bruschetta, stir into pastas, dollop onto soups or add a spoon or two to your favourite vinaigrette dressing.
