Saag paneer is a beloved Indian dish featuring lots of chopped leafy greens, which in this case is spinach, and cubes of paneer cheese simmered in a spicy, creamy sauce. Paneer is a mild cheese similar in texture to cheese curds which softens beautifully during the slow cook. Spiced with garam masala for a blend of warming spices like cumin, cinnamon, and coriander the crushed red pepper gives this dish a little kick, while the spinach and cream cool it down. Served over a bed of aromatic basmati rice this delicious vegetarian meal is sure to please meat lovers too!

*Note: do not add water to reservoir before broil*

Wine Pairing

Saag Paneer is best paired with wines with a high amount of acidity. The acidic qualities in a Riesling or a Sauvignon Blanc will cut through the cheese and bring the meal together.
