Paleo Stuffed Cabbage
I love paleo stuffed cabbage rolls, also known as galumpkis, and wanted to share my own version with zucchini, which I also love. I made this recipe for a dinner party, and everyone commented on how delicious and light it was — nobody realized I had swapped rice with cauliflower and zucchini. I was hoping for leftovers, but that was not the case!
