SAUTEED BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER AND MUSHROOMS



Sauteed Broccoli, Cauliflower and Mushrooms image

I have always prepared broccoli this way. Even my kids loved it when they were small. The flavors are just magnificent together! The key is to keep heat high so the vegetables brown while remaining somewhat crisp.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups broccoli, cut up
4 cups cauliflower, cut up
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Mix cut-up broccoli and cauliflower, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and let stand an hour, if possible.
  • Heat oil in a large saute or fry pan until very hot.
  • Add vegetables all at once, spreading in an even layer. Do not stir until bottom of layer begins to brown.
  • Flip and stir to get unbrowned pieces to bottom. Let cook until beginning to brown.
  • The trick here is to keep heat high and brown pieces without overcooking or burning them. If pieces are browned, but not soft enough for your taste, turn off heat and cover pan for a few minutes.

Slightly adapted from the cookbook The Art of Simple Food. You can add chopped fresh parsley and/or minced garlic near the end if desired, but it really isn't necessary.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 35m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cauliflower
olive oil, as needed
salt, as needed

Steps:

  • Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
  • From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
  • Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
  • Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
  • Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
  • At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
  • Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy, with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads that have brown spots or wilted leaves.
  • Wash the cauliflower thoroughly: Before you cut the cauliflower into florets, rinse it well under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the cauliflower into evenly sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for florets that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Season the cauliflower with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the cauliflower.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the cauliflower plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the cauliflower and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the cauliflower to the pan and cook until it is tender: Stir the cauliflower frequently so that it cooks evenly. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the sauce or seasoning of your choice: Once the cauliflower is cooked, you can add a variety of sauces or seasonings to taste. Some popular options include soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, or a simple mixture of garlic and olive oil.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately: Sautéed cauliflower is best served hot and fresh. It can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Sautéed cauliflower is a quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. With its mild flavor and versatile nature, it can be easily incorporated into a variety of dishes. Whether you are looking for a healthy side dish or a flavorful main course, sautéed cauliflower is a great option.
