Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Vegetable oil (for sautéing)
  • 15 g butter, divided
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 300 g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 12 tablespoons soy sauce
  • A small bunch of fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Wash the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
    • Clean and slice the mushrooms.
    • Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
    • Wash and chop the fresh dill, setting it aside for later.
  • Cook the Cauliflower:

    • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for 3–4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables:

    • Heat a small amount of vegetable oil and half the butter (about 7.5 g) in a large skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Cook the Mushrooms:

    • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
    • Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, stirring well to combine.
  • Combine Cauliflower and Mushrooms:

    • Add the blanched cauliflower to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Stir gently to combine.
    • Pour in the soy sauce and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
    • Add the remaining butter (7.5 g) and mix it into the vegetables as it melts.
  • Finish and Serve:

    • Let the cauliflower and mushroom mixture cook together for another 3–5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
    • Stir in the chopped fresh dill just before serving for a burst of freshness.
    • Transfer to a serving dish and serve hot as a main or side dish.

Notes

  • For a creamier version, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk in the final step.
  • Feel free to customize the seasoning with chili flakes for a spicy kick or lemon juice for added brightness.
  • Use frozen cauliflower if fresh is unavailable, but be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before blanching.
