Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 small onion (sliced)
  • ½ head cauliflower (cut into small florets)
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms (cut in half, or quartered if too big)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Oils and Fats

  • ¼ cup butter (unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings and Liquids

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil: Add the butter and olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion slices and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions start to caramelize a bit.
  2. Cook vegetables: 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 are browned and tender.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with red pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes according to your preference.
  • You can substitute cremini mushrooms with white button mushrooms if unavailable.
  • Serve this skillet dish as a side or add a protein of your choice to make it a complete meal.
  • To keep it low fat, reduce butter and increase olive oil slightly.
  • Use vegetable broth with low sodium to control salt content.
