This Moroccan Cake leans on honey and apricot to do the heavy lifting. We char the Paneer for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the honey and apricot 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 char until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the preserved lemons and the rest of the honey and apricot flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the courgette 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 topping and serve while hot.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
