Ingredients:
- 1 head of broccoli

- 1 carrot
- 400g (approximately 14.10 oz) of mushrooms
- Olive oil for frying
- 1 tablespoon of salt, plus more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Dried garlic, to taste
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
Instructions:
Prepare the Broccoli:
- Begin by cutting the broccoli into florets. Place the florets in a large bowl and pour boiling water over them. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water. Let the broccoli sit for 10-15 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Cook the Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes to the pan, seasoning them with salt, black pepper, and dried garlic to taste.
- Fry the potatoes until they are halfway cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the Onion and Carrot:
- Peel and finely chop the onion. In the same pan used for the potatoes, add a bit more olive oil and the chopped onion. Fry for about 3 minutes until the onion starts to become translucent.
- Peel and dice the carrot. Add it to the pan with the onion and continue to fry for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the Mushrooms:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms. Add them to the pan with the onion and carrot. Cook until the mushrooms are roasted to a golden brown, stirring frequently.
- Season the mushroom mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried basil. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Combine and Serve:
- Add the partially cooked potatoes and blanched broccoli to the pan with the mushroom mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Continue to cook over medium heat for a few more minutes until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
