Equipment
- Large skillet or frying pan
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 lb cauliflower mushrooms fresh, cleaned
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Mushrooms: Rinse cauliflower mushrooms gently with a damp cloth, discarding grit. Slice the mushrooms into bite-size pieces.
- Sauté the garlic: Heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant; do not let it burn.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: Add the cauliflower mushroom pieces into the pan. Mix them well so they are covered with the garlic and oil. Stir occasionally for 5-7 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and slightly crisp along the edges.
- Season: Mix the chopped thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the lemon juice for a light, tangy finish. Saute for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm as a side dish or over your favorite grains or pasta.
Notes
Make sure not to soak the cauliflower mushrooms in water, as they absorb moisture and can become soggy.
You can experiment with other herbs like basil or oregano for different flavor profiles.
For a creamier version, consider adding a splash of cream or a few tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese at the end of cooking.
