Notes
- Vegetables. Make various veggie combinations for the stuffing. This is a great opportunity for you to clean out your fridge of those unused vegetable slices! You can use mushrooms, olives, onions, spinach, basil leaves, peas, bell peppers, to name a few.
- Quinoa Substitute. You can also try using long-grain rice, orzo pasta, couscous, cauliflower rice, or breadcrumbs.
- Vegan Cheese. Add some dairy-free cheese to make it even more delicious!
