Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium fennel bulb
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 0.25 cups vegetable broth
Instructions
Trim the fennel bulb by removing the stalks and fronds, then thinly slice the bulb lengthwise.
Clean the cremini mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced fennel to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 7 minutes, stirring, until they are golden and tender.
Stir in the minced garlic, lemon zest, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the vegetable broth and lemon juice. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let the liquid simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked grains like quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
