Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into even-sized florets Make sure to cut into uniform florets.
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced Adjust according to personal taste.

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Warm oil before adding garlic.
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish For serving.
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Separate the cauliflower into uniform florets. Rinse thoroughly under cold water, then drain and pat dry to remove excess moisture.

Cooking

  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until it becomes aromatic but does not brown.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften and develop a light golden color.
  • Incorporate the sliced mushrooms into the skillet with the cauliflower. Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
  • Season the sautéed vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you're using them. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
  • 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

To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. For a creamy twist, add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese at the end of cooking.
