Description
A rich, savory, and simple 20-minute side dish made with garlic, mushrooms, and cauliflower caramelized to perfection in a cast iron skillet.
Ingredients
¼ cup butter, unsalted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, sliced
½ head cauliflower, cut into small florets
1 pound cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup vegetable broth
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Add butter and olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-low heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, add sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to caramelize.
3. Add cauliflower florets, cremini mushrooms, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth.
4. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms and cauliflower are lightly browned.
5. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Garnish with red pepper flakes and chopped parsley.
8. Serve warm.
Notes
Use both butter and oil to prevent burning and boost flavor.
Caramelize onions slowly on low heat for best results.
Stir vegetables occasionally for even browning.
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave after thawing.
