Herbalicious Rice Meatballs (Gluten and Lactose Free)

Classic Italian meatballs get a boost of fat and flavor from grated Parmesan, while breadcrumbs make the texture fluffy. And who doesn’t love them? Juicy, plump, and aromatic, little parcels of ground meat bubbling away in a rich sauce are irresistible.

Although I’ve always associated meatballs with Italy, it turns out that people throughout the world have their own version of this savory delicacy. From Turkey to India to Sweden to Iran, you’ll find delicious variations, many of which use no bread or cheese.

Crimini Mushrooms al Ajillo with an Egg Fried in Olive Oil

There are tons of variations of dishes al ajillo,  or “with a little garlic,” all over Spain. This is an extremely easy and tasty dish that can be served as a side or as a protein rich, energy packed breakfast.

If you want to try this for dinner or a tapas  dish, omit the egg and pile these mushrooms, hot or cold, into little ceramic dishes, stick a toothpick in each, and you’re on your way to your own tapas party. I also love them tossed in a salad
