Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the cauliflower and cut it into small florets.
- Slice the mushrooms, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Sauté the Onions and Garlic:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
Cook the Cauliflower:
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and toss to coat them in the oil and onion-garlic mixture.
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but still slightly crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to prevent burning.
Sauté the Mushrooms:
- In a separate pan, heat the remaining 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Combine and Finish:
- Add the sautéed mushrooms to the pan with the cauliflower.
- Stir in the butter and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and coat the vegetables evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve:
- Serve warm as a side dish. Pair with your favorite main course or enjoy on its own!
