Ingredients

- 1 head Cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 8 ounces Mushrooms (sliced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Vegetable Broth (or chicken broth)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (can substitute with olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional)

Instructions
- Begin by prepping your ingredients. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic. This step should take about 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Wait about 2 minutes until the oil shimmers.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant.
- Next, add the cauliflower florets to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to turn golden brown and are just tender.
- Now, toss in the sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine and allow them to cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any flavorful bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes.
- Finish off by stirring in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (if using). Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the butter is melted and the sauce is glossy.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm immediately.
