Samantha Stephenson

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup yellow onions, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups cauliflower, grated
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup asparagus, chopped
1 cup zucchini, grated
1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
zest of 1 lemon
1/4 Italian parsley, chopped
1/4 cup basil, chopped

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large pan, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
2. Add mushrooms and cook until tender. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
3. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until they are soft and translucent (approx 2 to 3 minutes) Reduce the heat to medium.
4. Add the cauliflower and stir thoroughly to make sure it is coated with the olive oil and onions. Cook the cauliflower for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, stirring and scraping the pan until the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes.
5. Add the asparagus, zucchini and peas, stir to combine. Turn heat up to medium-high.
6. Add the broth and milk, frequently stir so the vegetable cook and the liquid begins to evaporate. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and just a small amount of the liquid is left on the bottom of the pan.
7. Turn off heat and add cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Add cooked mushrooms and lemon zest, stir to combine.
8. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and garnish with parsley, basil and cheese on top.
