Cauliflower Mushroom Recipe
This Cauliflower Mushroom Recipe combines curly cauliflower mushrooms, tender cauliflower florets, and hearty mushrooms in a savory, aromatic sauce. It offers a satisfying blend of textures and flavors in every bite, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or an impressive side dish.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh cauliflower mushrooms cleaned and roughly chopped
- 6 ounces mushrooms cremini, shiitake, or portobello, sliced
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
(Optional) Fresh herbs like rosemary or basil, chili flakes, or a splash of coconut cream for a creamy finish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the sliced mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or portobello) and cook for 3-4 minutes until they release moisture and start to brown.
- Introduce the cauliflower mushrooms and continue cooking for 4–5 minutes to absorb flavors and develop texture.
- Add the cauliflower florets, season with salt and pepper, then pour in the vegetable broth.
- Cover and simmer on low heat for 8–10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender. Stir occasionally.
- Adjust seasonings, add optional herbs or a creamy element, and serve warm.
Notes
- Allergen Alert: Check the vegetable broth you use if you have any dietary restrictions (e.g., gluten-free).
- Special Technique: Thoroughly clean cauliflower mushrooms to remove debris from their frilly edges.
