Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz Mushrooms Varieties like cremini or shiitake work wonderfully.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced for best aroma.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil For sautéing vegetables.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers Chopped and cooked alongside cauliflower.
  • 2 cups Spinach Added near the end for freshness.
  • 1 cup Protein (e.g., beans, chicken) To make the dish heartier.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by washing and chopping the cauliflower into small florets.
  • Clean the mushrooms and slice them.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Toss in the cauliflower and bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower begins to soften.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
  • When the vegetables are tender, stir in the spinach and your choice of protein.
  • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the protein is heated through.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Serve warm, on its own or as a side. Adding cheese or herbs can enhance flavors. Ensure vegetables are cut evenly for uniform cooking and use a non-stick skillet for easy cleanup. Try different proteins for variety. For extra spice, add red pepper flakes.
