Paneer



Did you know how easy it is to make paneer?  Paneer is an Indian style cheese.  It's basically the Indian version of ricotta.  It may actually be the same thing as ricotta.  It doesn't have any flavor, it's really just a base to create something flavorful with.  You can season it and sautee it with vegetables, form it into little rounds and add it to curry, pan sear it and serve it over a salad, mix it with scrambled eggs, add it to a tortilla wrap, season with tandoori masala and broil it, is that enough ideas?  You can also make Indian desserts with it but I have no idea how.  Another nice way to eat it is to mix it with some honey and spread it on some toast.  


4 cups whole milk
1/4 c lemon juice


Let milk come to a rigorous boil in a small pot and stir in lemon (turn off heat).  Stir until milk curdles and separates from the whey.  Pour through cheese cloth (or linen dish towel) and squeeze out water.  You can let this sit with something heavy weighing on top to drain more water.  You can save the liquid and cook vegetables in it as it is packed full of nutrients and protein.
