This is exactly the type of recipe I love coming across. Cook one day and take as part of a packed lunch the next. A welcome low calorie count together and saturated fat content - there’s so much flexibility here. I had just received some olives which I had bought on line and wanted to find a recipe which would do them justice – this fit the bill exactly. It’s a great recipe; something that can be planned for lunch-time or accompanied with a side dish for the evening meal. I shared this meal with my youngest son at dinner time. He crumbled a little feta cheese on the top of his (but it was so delicious, I didn’t feel deprived in the least) and we both had a Greek-style salad on the side. We both enjoyed it tremendously! Thanks, Pippa

<br>I try to start and end each day with at least 3 (sometimes that's a tough one) things that I am grateful for. No matter how hard life seems, I know I have it easy compared to so many others.
