Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice the button mushrooms into even pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and a pinch of salt, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli begins to soften and turn bright green. Remove the broccoli and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms should release their moisture and become golden brown.
Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine with the mushrooms and garlic.
Sprinkle in the lemon juice, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian main course.
