Ingredients
Pan Fried Paneer
Sautéed Kale
Instructions
- Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Step 2
Add the paneer and season it with a pinch of salt and some cracked black pepper.
- Step 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.
- Step 4
Remove the paneer from the pan and set aside for later.
- Step 5
Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the kale to the same pan and toss the kale so it begins to wilt.
- Step 6
After about 3 minutes, season the kale with salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Step 7
Cook until kale fully wilts down, about another 3-5 minutes.
- Step 8
Remove from heat, add the paneer back to the pan, and toss with the kale.
- Step 9
Serve with a garnish of smoked paprika and lemon zest.
