Whether you’re following a plant-based diet, trying to eat more vegetables, or just seeking a lighter yet satisfying option, this sautéed cauliflower and mushroom recipe will not disappoint.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower (cut into small florets)
- 1 cup of mushrooms (sliced, preferably cremini or button)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh if available)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Start by washing and preparing your cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets, making it easier to cook evenly. For the mushrooms, clean them gently with a damp cloth (avoid rinsing them under water as mushrooms absorb moisture) and slice them into thin pieces.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower starts to turn golden brown and softens slightly.
Step 3: Add the Mushrooms and Garlic
Once the cauliflower is partially cooked, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms begin to release their moisture and become tender. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the pan and cook for another minute, allowing the garlic to release its aromatic fragrance.
Step 4: Season to Taste
Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if desired. Stir well to evenly coat all the vegetables in the seasoning.
