Scale
Main Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced
- ½ head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup vegetable broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat fats and caramelize onions: Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions begin to caramelize and develop a slight golden color.
- Cook cauliflower and mushrooms: Add the cauliflower florets, cremini mushrooms, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and vegetable broth to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms and cauliflower develop a nice brown color and are tender.
- Add garlic and finish cooking: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley over the top, then serve warm.
Notes
- Use both butter and olive oil to prevent the butter from burning due to the olive oil’s higher smoke point.
- Cook onions slowly at a low temperature to achieve proper caramelization instead of frying.
- Stir the vegetables regularly as they cook to ensure even browning and prevent overcooking spots.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- For reheating, microwave on medium power or warm in a saucepan. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
