🔪 Instructions:

1. Steam or Blanch the Broccoli

   • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2–3 minutes, until just tender and bright green.

   • Drain and set aside (or plunge into cold water to stop cooking if you want it extra crisp).

2. Sauté the Mushrooms

   • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add the mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release moisture and become golden brown.

3. Add Garlic and Broccoli

   • Add another tbsp of oil or butter if needed.

   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds, until fragrant (don’t let it burn).

   • Add the cooked broccoli and sauté everything together for 2–3 minutes.

4. Season & Serve

   • Season with salt, pepper, and optional soy sauce or lemon juice for a tangy kick.

   • Sprinkle with Parmesan or chili flakes if desired.
