The recipe ingredients.

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.

I am delighted to share this most amazing Paneer, Proscuitto & Asparagus Tapas appetizer entry with you! This was my very first time tasting paneer. So, what is it?

What Is Paneer

Paneer is a fresh cheese made from milk and an acid like vinegar. It has a mild fresh milk taste that allows it to absorb seasoning very well.

  • Paneer is not aged.
  • It does not melt.
  • Paneer is a soft cheese

I accept the challenge. Here is how to make this salty, lemony fresh cheese appetizer. First, blanch the asparagus in boiling water until just tender. Plunge them into an ice water bath to cool them down and retain their fresh green color.

Next, cut the paneer into about ¼-inch thick slices and season with lemon-pepper. Trim asparagus to about 4-inches, so the tips extend above the paneer.

Next, layer seasoned paneer and asparagus on top of prosciutto and roll them up. Brush lightly with olive oil and roast on a lightly greased foil lined pan at 400F for 4 to 6 minutes.
