Olive bread balls.

As you know the Memsahib is not only vegetarian but also wheat intolerant, I well remember not long after we'd met that Tara used to get strange stomachs for no apparent reason, on one occasion  doctor thinking it was a suspected appendicitis & a trip to hospital. Thirty four years later intolerances are only just having recognition they should from the quacks and soothsayers that make up the medical fraternity! 
Any hoo........Kathy's Daughter-in-law has a very interesting website called 'It's a plant based life.' (Follow this link to find out more, including the recipe for the following olive bread, its very good http://itsaplantbasedlife.com/2017/07/25/olive-bread/ )   which is all about not eating meat and the benefits thereof. I think we have enough experience to know that veggie doesn't have to mean bland or tasteless but this site takes it to another level of delicious plumpious-ness.
I'm not a fan of olives really but this bread is great. Tara made a wheat free version  just substituting wheatfree flour for  wheat flour though you do need to use abit more. These are traditional Greek Cypriot bread rolls containing olives,spring onions, dill & coriander an alternative to olives can be dried tomatoes they maybe could benefit from the addition of some cheese but then that's my answer to everything.  Below are the rolls the memsahib made, we had them with dinner oh, & I put butter on mine as well! Brilliant!
