The Italian chicken recipe is pretty similar to my own Spanish style staple chicken meal, but adding olives is really a step too far to me. We eat green and black olives with the accompanying salad, I just can’t bring myself to cook with them. Pre-prepared fried tomato is cheap and easy in this part of the world, as are decent stocks in tetra brick packets, all I need to add in addition to these are garlic, onions and other vegetables as well as chicken thighs, olive oil and a bit of wine. On the top, I’ll add a huge uncut potato which the carb eaters share between them.

I do miss one dish now that I’m low carb. If you aren’t and want a healthy and truly delicious taste of Spain, this may well be one of the loveliest things you can make in a pressure cooker. Have found this English version which covers the basics - Olla Gitana (it’s the pears that make this dish so extraordinary)

Give the green olives a try in it just once. It's not nearly as "olive-y" as you might fear.
