Grilled Paneer Fruit Skewers How To

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Grilled Paneer Fruit Skewers with Sweet Asian Chili Lime Drizzle is pretty much my dream appetizer. It’s a healthy, sweet and salty fusion of global cuisine served on a stick. No fuss, no muss (or is that mess) and oh, so delicious.

I am taking part in the “Karoun Daires Blogger Recipe Challenge”. Two packages of Gopi Paneer, a fresh cheese made all-natural with milk and vinegar, was sent to me to create out-of-this-world recipes.

Grilled paneer fruit skewers are so easy to assemble. It features a firm, non-melting cheese called paneer. Paneer is high in protein and used often in vegetarian and Indian cuisine. Marinating it in some of my favorite Asian condiments and searing it on the grill adds to the salty-sweet flavor enjoyment. Here is how to make it.

First, marinate the sliced paneer in a mixture of sweet Asian chili sauce and soy sauce for at least 1 hour, turning occasionally. Just before grilling, sprinkle the cut fruit with salt and pepper and brush lightly with remaining chili sauce.

Next, remove paneer from marinade (reserve the marinade) and place paneer and fruit on a clean, lightly greased and hot grill. Grill, turning, getting some nice grill marks. The paneer is done after about 4 minutes and the fruit takes only 2 to 4 minutes. It’s quick!

Then, transfer the paneer and fruit to a cutting surface.

Finally, cut into bite size pieces and skewer. Arrange skewers on a bed of arugula. Squeeze the charred lime and mix the juice with the reserved marinade; drizzle over skewers.

Enjoy!
