Well they are low carb try the stuffed ones with lemon or garlic they are lushAre olives ok for us on low carb?
Trying my best to make my food less boring and whilst I don’t particularly like them on their own they are doable cooked.
I like the pitted black olives. Green ones are too salty for me.
If I buy black olives which are too salty I drain them and leave them in a container of tapwater to lose some of the salt.
Olives are about 3 gms of carbs per 100 gms.
@Cana - Black olives work well in a chilli con carne, instead of kidney beans.
I haven’t had chilli con carne fir years. Might try this in the winter
Pimento is a Cherry Pepper, sweetish in taste. It's dried to make paprika.One was stuffed with pimenta (pimento) no idea what that is so avoided it lol
Chilli is a great slow cooker meal, which I would have thought would suit your lifestyle perfectly, and the olives don't break down , unlike some pulses do.
I tend to use this recipe, adding olives, although I use my electrric pressure cooker, then leave it on keep-warm setting to "mature".

First time I made i, I ws very concerned about the apparent lack of liquid, but it's absolutely fine, and very thick, without the use of thickeners when finished. I also usually only do half the recipe, and freeze what isn't eaten first time around.
Thanks.
I do have a slow cooker so this would be ideal.
Just need to work out how to save it in here
