This Greek Hotpot leans on lemon and oregano to do the heavy lifting. We glaze the Paneer for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the lemon and oregano elements, and pat the paneer dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the paneer and glaze until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in the kalamata olives and the rest of the lemon and oregano flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the kale along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and a little acid. It should taste bright, savoury and balanced.

Finish with the chopped mint and serve while hot.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
