Instructions
1
|
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
2
|
Add the paneer and season it with a pinch of salt and some cracked black pepper.
3
|
Cook the paneer for 2-3 minutes on each side. The paneer may stick, so watch it closely. If it sticks too much, add another tbsp of oil. It will be done when it is lightly toasted and golden in color.
4
|
Remove the paneer from the pan and set aside for later.
5
|
Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the kale to the same pan and toss the kale so it begins to wilt.
6
|
After about 3 minutes, season the kale with salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
7
|
Cook until kale fully wilts down, about another 3-5 minutes.
8
|
Remove from heat, add the paneer back to the pan, and toss with the kale.
9
|
Serve with a garnish of smoked paprika and lemon zest.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Kale Prep Perfection 🥬Remove the tough stems from lacinato kale and chop into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and tender texture.
- Paneer Searing Technique 🧀Pat paneer dry before frying and use a cast-iron or non-stick pan to achieve a golden, crispy exterior without sticking.
- Lemon Zest Magic 🍋Grate lemon zest directly over the dish just before serving to maximize its aromatic oils and bright citrus flavor.
- Spice Layer Building 🌶️Toast the red pepper flakes and smoked paprika in the olive oil for 30 seconds before adding kale to intensify their flavor profile.
- Moisture Management 💧Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing kale - this prevents steaming and ensures a perfect crisp-tender texture.
