Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the vegetables
Wash the broccoli and mushrooms. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and slice the mushrooms evenly. Dry them well so they sauté instead of becoming watery.
Step 2: Cook the broccoli
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the broccoli for 2–3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain well. Alternatively, steam it until just tender.
Step 3: Sauté the mushrooms
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and most of their moisture has evaporated.
Step 4: Add the garlic and seasoning
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 30–60 seconds, stirring continuously until fragrant. Avoid burning the garlic.
Step 5: Combine and finish
Add the cooked broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together for 2–3 minutes until coated in the garlic butter. Stir in lemon juice and parsley, if using. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving, if desired.
