Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil (olive oil or peanut oil)
4 cups sliced mushrooms (approximately 6 to 8 ounces)
1/4 cup sliced shallots (or substitute with red onion)
4 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Black pepper to taste (optional)
Slivered toasted almonds or toasted cashews for garnish (optional)
Optional aromatics: 2-3 cloves garlic (sliced or minced), 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 2 green onions (sliced), and dried chili peppers
Instructions
1. Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add mushrooms and shallots (and garlic and ginger if using); sauté for about 10 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned and liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. For better browning, sear mushrooms without stirring for the first minute.
3. Stir in sherry or a splash of broth and cook for 2 minutes until the liquid evaporates, stirring frequently.
4. Add broccoli and salt; stir well. Pour in the chicken broth and crushed red pepper flakes.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes or until broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender.
6. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess liquid if necessary.
7. Season with black pepper and sprinkle with toasted almonds or cashews before serving.
