Garlic Cauliflower and Mushrooms (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 head cauliflower, cut into even-sized florets
02 - 225 grams mushrooms, sliced
03 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Seasonings and Garnish

05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
07 - 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
09 - Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Separate cauliflower into uniform florets. Rinse under cold water, drain thoroughly, and pat dry to eliminate excess moisture.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly until aromatic without browning.
03 - Add cauliflower florets to the skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring periodically, until lightly golden and beginning to soften.
04 - Incorporate sliced mushrooms into the skillet with the cauliflower. Continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
05 - Season sautéed vegetables with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir well to distribute seasoning evenly.
06 - Remove from heat. Transfer vegetables to a serving dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and optionally top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Patting the cauliflower dry helps achieve better browning during sautéing.
