Garlic Cauliflower and Mushrooms (Print Version)

Golden cauliflower and mushrooms cooked with garlic and herbs for a light and savory dish.

# Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 head cauliflower, cut into even-sized florets
02 - 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
03 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Seasonings and Garnish

05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
07 - 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
09 - Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Separate the cauliflower into uniform florets, rinse thoroughly under cold water, drain, and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
02 - Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly until aromatic without browning.
03 - Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring periodically, until they begin to soften and develop a light golden color.
04 - Incorporate the sliced mushrooms into the skillet with the cauliflower. Continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
05 - Season the sautéed vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of seasonings.
06 - Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the cauliflower and mushrooms to a serving dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and optionally top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the cauliflower is thoroughly dried to promote browning during sautéing.
