This dish is one if my Dad’s favorite meals, and, it vegan and gluten free, which is saying something! In fact, I made this for him for Easter dinner instead of his traditional unstuffed cabbage rolls, which is usually a staple for holidays.
It’s pretty easy to make, and freezes amazing well. This makes a lot of food, which is good if you’re having a crowd, or if you’re looking to cook once and have meals later in the week. I usually freeze more than half in both individual portions and family size.
You can also substitute qunonia for the rice.
