🛒 Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced or halved
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil (or vegan butter for richer flavor)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ tsp paprika (optional but delicious)
- ½ tsp dried thyme or oregano
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Splash of lemon juice (optional, brightens everything!)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to caramelize — about 5–6 minutes.
2️⃣ Add the Cauliflower
Add the cauliflower florets and continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
Let the edges get golden and slightly crispy.
3️⃣ Add Garlic & Seasonings
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs.
Cook until the garlic is fragrant and everything is well coated in the seasonings.
4️⃣ Finish & Serve
Turn off the heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice if you want a little brightness.
Serve hot — straight from the skillet!
