I used green olives stuffed with lemon rind (what was in my fridge) as a substitute and it was delicious!! It was a bit much... for my husband I can't wait to make it again for myself!Read more

Delicious sweet and salty combo!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I don't like olives at all, so I skipped them. Also, when I went to do the final saute with the almonds at the end, I used... chicken stock instead of olive oil. Made it super healthy and super delicious! The sweet/salty combination was great. (Four stars is only because of how much I changed the recipe around to get myself to like it.)Read more

Fantastic
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this recipe. I would say, though, that you would have to be quite a fan of olives for this one.
