Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Garlic Cauliflower Mushroom Skillet
  1. Begin by cleaning your cauliflower; remove any leaves and cut it into bite-sized florets.
  2. Next, slice the mushrooms evenly to allow for uniform cooking and mince about three cloves of fresh garlic.
  3. In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  4. Add the prepared cauliflower florets to the hot skillet, sauté for about 5-6 minutes until golden.
  5. Once the cauliflower is slightly golden, stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  6. Add the minced garlic, sprinkle in paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well to coat the vegetables.
  7. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables and toss gently to combine, then serve hot.
