Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower
- Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Mushrooms
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.
Step 4: Add Herbs and Seasonings
- Season the mushrooms with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the mushrooms in the fragrant herbs.
Step 5: Deglaze the Skillet
- Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet, stirring to deglaze and scrape up any flavorful bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6: Add Cauliflower
- Toss the steamed cauliflower into the skillet, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and herbs. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 7: Optional Nutritional Yeast
- For a cheesy, savory note, sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and stir well to incorporate.
Step 8: Adjust Seasoning
- Taste the dish and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Step 9: Garnish and Serve
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot as a main course or side dish.
Variations:
- Swap mushrooms for other varieties like cremini, portobello, or shiitake.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Try fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a brighter flavor.
