Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 head Cauliflower — cut into uniform florets
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms — cremini or button, sliced or halved
  • 3 cloves Garlic — minced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil — or avocado oil
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth — or chicken broth
  • Salt and Pepper — to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes — optional
  • 2 tablespoons Butter — or extra olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice — optional
  • Fresh Herbs — parsley, thyme, or chives to finish

Instructions

  1. Prep: Trim cauliflower and cut into florets about 1–1.5 inches. Slice mushrooms. Mince garlic. Warm the broth.
  2. Heat pan: Place a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and let it shimmer.
  3. Brown cauliflower: Add cauliflower in a single layer and let it cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until golden. Toss and brown another 2–3 minutes. Season lightly with salt. Remove to a plate.
  4. Cook mushrooms: Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add mushrooms in one layer; let them brown for 4–5 minutes with minimal stirring. Add a pinch of salt.
  5. Add garlic: Push mushrooms to the side, add garlic and red pepper flakes for 30–45 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Return cauliflower: Put cauliflower back in the skillet. Pour in the warm vegetable broth and scrape up browned bits. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until cauliflower is just tender.
  7. Finish: Stir in butter (or extra oil), lemon juice, and chopped fresh herbs. Adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot.
