Broccolini with caramelized onion & mushrooms
Tired of the same old steamed or roasted broccoli? Try broccolini with mushrooms and caramelized onion. It is amazing!
It's healthy and delicious too! It's also easy to make.
I caramelize my onions separately and sometimes a day or two ahead of time. There are very few rules in my recipes. Here is the link to learn to caramelize onions • Caramelized Onion - You may love it so muc...

Broccolini with caramelized onion & mushrooms recipe
Ingredients:
1 bunch broccolini, washed and ends cut off
1/2 cp sauteed mushrooms, I add salt and minced garlic as they cook
1/2 cup caramelized onion • Caramelized Onion - You may love it so muc...
1 T additional healthy fat (ghee, GF butter, avocado oil or evoo)
Himalayan pink salt to taste
Instructions:
~ Bring water to a boil in a 3Qt saucepan (minimum) with a stainless steel steamer basket inserted
~ Add the prepared broccolini, cover and steam for 3-5 minutes. It should be just tender and still bright green.
~ When tender, remove the steamer basket, dumping the broccolini onto a cutting board. Cut into smaller pieces. You can also complete this step prior to steaming.
~ Before the steaming is complete, begin to heat a cast iron skillet to medium. Add additional healthy fat, mushrooms, caramelized onion, and steamed broccolini. Stir well evenly distributing the ingredients.
~ Serve immediately (you can also store any leftovers in the refrigerator and heat up as desired)
~ ENJOY!
NOTE: You can sauté the mushrooms right before putting this dish together. I cook them separately so they are nicely browned and not soggy. I typically use shitakes. If I need both caramelized onions and sauteed mushrooms, I will start with the mushrooms. Once sauteed, I place them in a bowl and use the same skillet to caramelize my onions. No need to wash your skillet in between steps.

MISC
~ Cutting Board - https://amzn.to/3Gm4qeU I highly recommend bamboo because of it's natural ability to kill bacteria. This one comes in multiple sizes depending on available space, has a very important juice groove and is made of organic bamboo.
~ Steamer Basket stainless steel – Be sure to choose the right size I have a small and a large. 5-9” https://amzn.to/42Qn09S 6-10.5” https://amzn.to/3I5hkz0 You can probably just choose the 5-9” to cover your needs.
KNIVES
~ Chef - https://amzn.to/3ImoO26 (I own a very old 8" knife by Forschner, which I love, but it was quite expensive.) This knife has great reviews and offers everything you will need as a home cook. If you want to spend more, that's also fine just do your research. I'll post a video soon on choosing the correct size but most women need an 8" and men a 10" and up
~ Paring - https://amzn.to/3Cn0j0H I love this 3 knife set because they are so thin, perfect for most uses.
PANS
~ Skillet – Cast iron - https://amzn.to/3GgPe2t - a 10” is plenty big for me and not too heavy. If you have a larger family feel free to buy a larger size. You can often find deals on cast iron at garage sales, thrift stores and charity re-sell shops. They may need to be seasoned but there are plenty of videos online to show you how.
