Cracked green olives, a breakfast staple in Turkey, are made by cracking the olives and repeatedly changing the soaking water to remove their bitterness, then transferring them to brine. With no sweetener or added carbohydrates, they make a keto-friendly snack for a packed lunch.
Gently pound the green olives with a mallet until the pits crack.
Put the cracked olives in a container with plenty of water and begin soaking them. Change the water at regular intervals to draw out the bitterness.
Drain the olives and replace the water with fresh water. Repeat once per day until the bitterness is gone.
Drain the olives once the bitterness is gone and put them in a jar. Pour over the water mixed with salt, lemon slices, garlic, and thyme. Cover the surface with olive oil and seal the jar.
When cracking the olives, try to split each pit down the middle; otherwise, the bitterness may not leach evenly and some olives can remain bitter.
Zeytinler tam istediğim kıvamda kırıldı, sarımsaklı tuzlu suyun kokusu kavanozu açar açmaz bile harika.
Suyu her gün değiştirmeyi sürdürdüm, tarifte belirtilen 5 gün sonunda acılık iyice geçmişti. Kekik ve limonla tuzlu suya alınca kavanozda gerçekten güzel bir koku oluştu.
