Fresh Paneer cheese
Fresh pressed paneer cheese is so easy to make, easy to digest and very nourishing. Great served with vegetables and on salads. I choose brands that offer 100% grass-fed, organic whole milk using regenerative farming.
INGREDIENTS
Makes 2-3 servings
4 cups (1 quart) Organic whole milk
2 tbsp fresh lime juice or lemon juice
Directions
Using a large sauce pan big enough to hold the milk. Pour milk into pan and bring to boil over medium heat.
When the milk begins to boil, turn the heat off and add the lime or lemon juice. Stir gently, the milk will start to transform and separate in to clumpy curds. When this separation occurs the liquid is ready to strain.
Pour liquid into a strainer lined with cheese cloth. Allow all the liquid to strain. You will see the cheese will start to form together. Carefully gather all corners making sure the cheese is tightly enclosed. Twist gently to remove any excess liquid.
Place wrapped cheese on a cutting board with a cloth underneath to catch any excess liquid. Place another cutting board on top. Using something heavy, place on the top cutting board. Press for 20 mins.
Unwrap cheese and use fresh in your recipes! Refrigerate for up to 3 days in a closed container.
