Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 oz cauliflower florets

- 0.8 oz garlic, finely minced (about 2 large cloves)
- 1 oz shallot, finely minced (about 1 large)
- 6 tbsp olive oil (divided: 2 tbsp + ¼ cup)

- 1 tbsp chicken stock or vegetable stock, or white wine
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

Instructions
- Prepare the cauliflower

Warm over medium heat until shimmering. - Add the minced shallots and garlic
Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. - Add the mushrooms
Stir in sliced mushrooms, cooking until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes. - Add cauliflower florets
Mix with mushrooms and sauté for another 6-8 minutes until tender and lightly browned. - Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock (or white wine)
Stir to deglaze the pan and add moisture, cooking for 1-2 minutes until most liquid evaporates. - Season with salt and pepper
Adjust seasoning to taste. - Add remaining ¼ cup olive oil
Drizzle over vegetables and stir well for added richness. - Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley
Garnish with additional parsley and optional paleo or grated parmesan cheese. - Serve immediately
Enjoy as a side dish or light main course.
Notes
Use fresh garlic and shallots for the best aroma and flavor.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure mushrooms brown properly. Cook in batches if needed.
Adjust cooking time depending on desired tenderness.
Use stock or wine to add depth and prevent vegetables from drying out.
For a vegan option, use vegetable stock and omit cheese.
