Grandma Julie's Rice Balls
My grandmother from Brooklyn made these all the time, I’ve adapted the recipe to use gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients so I can enjoy them now. They taste just as good as I remember! I love serving them with homemade marinara sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping, along with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
