Garlic Mushrooms Cauliflower Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 medium cauliflower, cut into small florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces (about 225g) mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, for added flavor)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
5. Season the mushrooms with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper, stirring to evenly distribute the herbs.
6. Pour in the vegetable broth to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
7. Add the steamed cauliflower florets and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the cauliflower to absorb the flavors.
8. If desired, sprinkle nutritional yeast over the mixture for extra flavor and stir well.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot as a side dish or a light main course. It’s a healthy and satisfying option for a weeknight meal.
