Ideas to personalize the recipe
To make the dish much lighter, you can do without the olives, which are very caloric. On the contrary, if you are interested in enhancing its flavor, you can mix green and black olives.
And if you are a vegetarian and you need a more complete dish, you can add a handful of cooked chickpeas or peanuts that will provide you with extra vegetable protein and all the energy you need.
Zucchini, ideal to deflate
In addition to providing very few calories (only 15 cal / 100 g), it has draining properties that help combat fluid retention. However, keep in mind that zucchini absorbs a lot of oil, so if you don't want to add calories on the other hand, cook it boiled, grilled, or simmered with very little fat.
