I don't know if Trader Joe's canned green olives (ingredients are only olives, water, and sea salt) are lower in histamines than the usual cured olives with vinegar, but I've been able to eat 4 to 5 at a time once a week with no apparent problems. They're pretty bland by themselves, but delicious marinated in this recipe!
Marinated Green Olives
1 can plain green olives (like the Trader Joe's ones I mention above), rinsed
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tablespoons white wine
1 teaspoon crushed fennel seed
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
a few grinds of pepper
1 small red sweet pepper cut into matchsticks
slivered almonds
Combine olive oil, lemon juice, wine, fennel, salt, and pepper and whisk well. Stuff olives with almond slivers. Add olives and sweet red pepper to the marinade, combine well, and refrigerate for a few hours.
Welcome! This blog is a way to share my recipes and what I eat with my family and friends. I am a celiac, tend to cook and eat low histamine, and have multiple allergies. If you are in the same boat or cook for someone who is, check out my recipes and information pages. You just might find out, as I did, that you can still eat very well - maybe even better!
