Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Once hot, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and, if desired, 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the fats warm for a minute until they bubble slightly.
  2. Add the fresh cauliflower florets to the skillet, spreading them out evenly. Sauté them for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly golden and tender-crisp.
  3. Now, add your choice of sliced mushrooms to the skillet, mixing them well with the cauliflower. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, along with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook everything together for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant and intertwined with the vegetables.
  5. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over your skillet mixture and give it a final stir. If you're using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top now. Finally, garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley.
