Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cabbages or Napa cabbages (1 1/2 lb each)
1/4 cup fat-free chicken broth
3 tbsp olive oil
2 small zucchini, finely diced
1 large tomato, finely diced
1 sweet onion, finely chopped

Tips:

Choose small to medium zucchini: They cook more evenly and have a better texture.
Use a sharp knife to slice the zucchini: This will help prevent tearing.
Don't overcook the zucchini: They should be tender but still slightly crisp.
Use a variety of herbs in the stuffing: This will add flavor and complexity to the dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: Both hard and soft cheeses can be used in the stuffing.
Serve the zucchini immediately: They are best when hot and fresh out of the oven.
