Smoked Paneer Stir-Fry

This Mediterranean Stir-Fry leans on olive and tomato to do the heavy lifting. We smoke the Paneer for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the olive and tomato elements, and pat the paneer dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the paneer and smoke until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the chickpeas and the rest of the olive and tomato flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the sweetcorn along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped oregano and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
