Ingredients

  • 225 g (8 oz) paneer, cut into cubes
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp harissa paste
  • olive oil, for cooking
  • optional: chopped cilantro + pomegranate seeds for topping

Instructions 

  • The first step is to pan fry the paneer. In a large frying pan, heat a thin layer of olive oil. Add the paneer cubes and allow them to cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned (it's tricky to make sure that each side of each cube actually browns, so don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect). Note that the paneer can spit oil as it cooks, so stand as far back from the pan as you can and be mindful of this.

  • Once the paneer is cooked, add the harissa and honey to the pan. It will start melting - use a spatula to mix it through and get each bite coated in it.

  • Allow the honey-harissa mix to stay in the pan for another minute or two- it will bubble up, then reduce and thicken to form a glaze.
  • Place the paneer bites onto a serving dish and add your toppings of choice.
