PANEER ‘LOVE’ BURGER<br />

In Vedic texts, dairy products are considered ‘legal<br />

meat’, in other words you take care of an animal and<br />

the animal gives you protein rich produce which is as<br />

nutritious as meat.<br />

To slice the throat of such a creature and eat the flesh<br />

is just not economical - either financially or for the<br />

environment … and it just makes a bloody mess<br />

everywhere! In addition, the cow is understandably<br />

not pleased.<br />

Main Meals<br />

So we favour ‘legal meat’ and seeing the bull merrily chasing the cows around the<br />

paddock … a far more polite proposal.<br />

That is why we have called this recipe the Paneer ‘Love’ burger, because it is based on<br />

this concept of cohabitation and respect.<br />

Ingredients:<br />

Salad items for 2 – 4 people<br />

UDressing:U ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, ½ tsp Saindhava <strong>Ayurvedic</strong> Rock salt,<br />

1tsp French Mustard, 1-2 tsp Basamic Vinegar.<br />

Paneer – sliced 2cm thick<br />

Ghee<br />

Pepper to Taste<br />

Make a delicious salad, roasted pine nuts are always a nice addition.<br />

Mix the ingredients for the dressing together and dress the salad.<br />

Fry the paneer in a little ghee until it develops a slightly light brown crust, add salt to<br />

taste.<br />

Serve the fried paneer with a fresh chappati or fresh bread, the dressed salad and<br />

homemade Tomato Sauce or Sour Date Chutney. Everybody loves a burger!<br />

Incidentally, I am not a vegetarian, I just don’t like to inconvenience others!<br />
