What can I use instead of chouchou?

[@TheFoodiesAvenue]

Hi Patricia, you can replace the chouchou by any vegetable you wish including carrots, zucchini, potatoes, mushrooms or even make it with just meat. You can customize the stuffing as per your preferences 😉

@@TheFoodiesAvenue made them today for lunch, will post a pic on insta. soon. They were a hit! I used a bit of Savoy cabbage instead of chouchou.
