Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 8 ounces Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups Broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Leaves (can substitute with dried thyme)
  • Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes (optional for heat)
  • Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Chives, Oregano) for garnish

Oils & Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil for sautéing
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (or lime juice as a substitute)
  • 1/4 cup Crème Fraîche or Sour Cream (for a creamy finish, optional)
  • Soy Sauce, Honey, and Sesame Oil (optional for Asian-inspired flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prep Vegetables: Rinse the cremini mushrooms and slice them evenly. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh thyme leaves to prepare for sautéing.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
  3. Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and continue sautéing for another 5-7 minutes until they become tender-crisp and maintain a bright green color.
  4. Season and Finish: Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for about one minute until fragrant. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice right before serving to brighten the flavors.
  5. Optional Enhancements: For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes before serving. For a creamy finish, stir in crème fraîche or sour cream. To create an Asian-inspired variation, drizzle soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil over the dish. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or oregano for extra freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh thyme for best flavor, but dried thyme works well in a pinch.
  • Ensure broccoli florets are cut uniformly to promote even cooking.
  • Adjust lemon juice and seasoning to suit taste preferences.
  • Optional ingredients allow versatility to customize the dish’s flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
