Step-by-step
- To make the jerk seasoning paste, blitz all of the ingredients together in the food processor, making them as close to a purée as possible.
- Shallow fry the paneer and soya chunks in a non-stick pan and allow it to crisp up before letting it cool down
- Take a bowl and pour the seasoning over the paneer and soya chunks and let them chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.
- When you are ready to cook the paneer and soya chunks, remove them from the fridge and then heat the remaining oil and sauté the onion and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes before adding the paneer and soya chunks.
- Cook for 7-8 minutes before serving hot and steaming. I serve this dish with orzo pasta but you could use rice instead.
