Ready to cook? Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious skillet:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet, stirring for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Toss in the cauliflower florets, stirring to coat them with the mushroom and garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the vegetable broth or water, then cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cauliflower to steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and let any remaining liquid evaporate. Give everything a good stir, ensuring the cauliflower is nicely browned.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
Cooking tip: If you like a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the sautéing process.
