On one side the cabbage leaves, guardians of a treasure waiting to be discovered, blanched and ready to be stuffed.

There chickpea flour and vegan cheese (or of animal origin) are added at the end, immediately after the salt and pepper and immediately before the entire mixture is blended to create a compact cream.
The oven does the rest: 20 minutes with a drizzle of oil for an effect crunchy outside and soft inside.

Cut the cabbage leaves and wash them under running water before blanching them in salted water for about 4 minutes. Drain them and keep aside. Then soak the stale bread in warm water. Prepare the filling by frying garlic and onion with a drizzle of oil, add the crumbled tofu and sauté for a few minutes before blending with the white wine.
Squeeze the bread and add it to the pan with the filling, season with salt and pepper and blend with an immersion blender. Add the chickpea flour and vegan cheese and mix well.
