I would like to try this recipe with a vegan alternative. My family is a vegetarian one 😉
It looks tempting though.
Shilpa,
It would be great with a vegetarian filling as well.
I eat mostly vegetarian diet as well, and substitute meat with riced cauliflower a lot. It tastes heavenly, much better than with meat.
