Ingredients:


Ingredients for the Mushroom Steaks::

  • 2 whole portobellos
  • 1/2 small white onion
  • 2 whole garlic cloves
  • 1 cup of vegetable broth
  • 3 tsp. of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp. of thyme
  • 1 tsp. of chives
  • 1/2 tsp. basil

Ingredients for Mashed Cauliflower::

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1 tbsp. of extra-virgin olive oil
  • Pink himalayan salt
  • Black pepper

Directions:


  1. Mushroom Steaks:
    1. In a large frying pan add 2 tbsp. of broth.
    2. Mince the 1/2 onion and 2 garlic cloves, and set them to the side while the broth heats up.
    3. Using a damp paper towel, remove dirt and debris from the mushrooms, and remove the stems.
    4. Once the broth is hot enough, add the minced onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes over high heat.
    5. Reduce heat to about medium, and add the 3 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp of thyme, 1 tsp of chives, and 1/2 tsp of basil to the pan.
    6. Now add the mushroom, and cover and cook for five minutes, and reduce the heat to low.
    7. After a few minutes, gently flip mushrooms over and cook for 5 minutes more, (adding more broth as needed to prevent sticking or burning).

    Mashed Cauliflower:
    1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
    2. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 10 minutes, or until very tender.
    3. After the 10 minutes, drain the cauliflower, and add to a large bowl.
    4. Add oil, and mash the cauliflower using a potato masher to the desired consistency.
    5. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Plating the Mushroom Steaks and Mashed Cauliflower:
    1. Add about a 1/2 cup of the mashed cauliflower to your plate, and top with a mushroom.
    2. Collect the garlic, onion, and herb mixture from the frying pan and top your mushroom and cauliflower.
    3. Eat and Enjoy!
