black olives

🥗Healthier: kalamata olives

💰Cheaper: canned green olives

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a pan over medium-low heat.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper to the melted butter and mix.

Add 4 cups of cooked rice to the pan and warm it up, mixing it with the butter.

Stir in 2 oz of grated mozzarella cheese and 1 oz of grated parmesan cheese until combined.

Divide the rice mixture evenly among ovenproof bowls or pots, pressing it down flat.

Spread 1 cup of pasta sauce evenly over the rice mixture in each bowl.

Layer 3 oz of mozzarella cheese, followed by 4 oz of sliced salami, 1/2 cup of sliced olives, and 1 tablespoon of capers on top of the sauce.

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
