Instructions: Mix water, tomato paste, vinegar, salt, thyme, and sugar substitute; set aside. Cut leeks into diagonal slices 1 1/2-inch wide. Cook leeks in lightly salted boiling water 3 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook leeks 5 minutes, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to low. Add bake mix to skillet, mix well with oil in pan. Cook 3 minutes, or until bake mix is lightly browned.

Slowly add tomato paste mixture. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Return leeks to pan; add olives. Cover and cook 10 minutes, until leeks are very tender.

Cool to room temperature before serving. May be prepared in advance and refrigerated.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
