 Homemade paneer.
Was inspired by this post and decided to make some saag paneer because Caitlin was coming over for lunch and we both love Indian food.
I was smiling with amazement because I had no idea how simple it was to make!

To make:
Bring a gallon of whole milk to a boil (taking care to stir as it heats up)
 Add juice of lemon or lime until milk splits from whey (I used around four small meyer lemons)
Remove from heat and pour into a cheesecloth-lined strainer
 (making sure to reserve whey– it can be used for many things)
 Tie to your faucet and let the rest of the whey drip out
 Slice and serve!
 The saag paneer recipe I used is here... so so good!
