If you tend to scramble when trying to figure out what to feed the vegetarians at your barbecue parties, we’ve got the perfect answer! We’ve put a twist on the traditional paneer marinade and come up with pesto paneer skewers. This flavor fusion will have all your guests coming back for seconds and asking for the recipe!
Cut the cubes of paneer into one inch cubes and make slits on each side-set aside
In a mixing bowl, combine the pesto, lemon juice, garlic, chilies and corn flour
Mix well to incorporate all ingredients
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade
Allow to marinade in the refrigerator for a minimum of one hour up to maximum overnight
Heat up your BBQ grill
Assemble the skewers in the skewer basket by alternating paneer, bell peppers and onions
Close the basket
Place the basket on the grill
Using an oven mitt rotate the basket on the grill every 3 minutes until all sides are cooked
Using an oven mitt, remove the skewer baskets from the grill
Carefully remove the cooked paneer and veggies and sprinkle with chaat masala
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Serving suggestion You can serve these as an appetizer or as a main entree at your BBQ party. You can also serve extra pesto on the side as a dipping sauce. Serve with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Variations You can use a different mix of vegetables on the skewers such as cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, carrots, etc.
If you do not have skewer baskets, you can use regular metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers.
Vegan Variation Use a vegan pesto and use tofu instead of paneer.
