Absolutely love Portobello Mushrooms and thought I would try an Indian twist by stuffing them with Paneer. Paneer is an Indian cheese that you can make at home or buy from an Indian store.
But I have to be honest and say that I have not made paneer at home in a long time. Call it laziness, or call it convenience on having an Indian store practically 5 minutes from my house.
Making paneer at home is easy by quickly bringing milk to boil and adding fresh lemon juice or vinegar so the milk curdles. The curdled part is the paneer that we strain and press together to form into a block.
Paneer is a soft cheese that does not melt and loves to take on the flavor of the seasonings that are added to it.
This is a quick and easy appetizer to add some fun and spice to your evening.
