Garlic Cauliflower Mushrooms Parmesan (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 head cauliflower, cut into even bite-sized florets
02 - 8 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
03 - 225 grams mushrooms (button or cremini), sliced

→ Oils and Seasonings

04 - 45 milliliters extra virgin olive oil
05 - 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
08 - Red pepper flakes, optional

→ Finishings

09 - Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Separate cauliflower into even, bite-sized florets. Rinse with cold water, drain well, and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
02 - Pour olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium setting. Add minced garlic, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until aromatic. Avoid browning the garlic.
03 - Introduce the dried cauliflower florets into the skillet. Stir occasionally and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the florets are golden at the edges and begin to caramelize.
04 - When the cauliflower starts to soften, add sliced mushrooms. Toss ingredients to coat evenly in the garlic oil.
05 - Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring as needed, until mushrooms are golden brown and softened.
06 - Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired. Remove skillet from heat.
07 - Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a serving dish. Scatter chopped parsley across the top and finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if preferred. Serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the cauliflower is thoroughly dried after rinsing to promote proper caramelization in the skillet.
