Heat oil in a large pan or work and add the sliced onions. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes on medium heat, stirring often.
Next add the cauliflower florets, turn to high heat and add a pinch of the salt.
Mix and cook for one minute until the cauliflower is softened. Pour in a tablespoon or two of water and stir every once and a while until lightly browned, which is about 2 to 3 minutes.
Then add the broccoli and a bit more salt and water. Stir well.
Now cook over medium heat, adding water as needed to cook until the liquid is reduced and the vegetables are lightly browned, but a bit crisp.
Add the thyme, lemon juice and a bit more salt, if needed.
Serve hot, warm or cold. This recipe makes four to six portions.
