Do You Know Naan?



If you haven't ever tried Naan then please put it on the top of your grocery list. Naan is an soft Indian bread you can buy frozen at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. (Trader Joe's Quattro Formaggio is another great staple)





Lately I have been treating Naan like instant personal pizza dough, but it is a great substitution for any sandwich. Because summer = simple in my kitchen, choose one veggie, one herb and one cheese to top your Naan. Any combo will be great but here are two I know to be awesome...


Squash, Oregano and Quattro Formaggio Blend





Turn on oven to broil setting.
Slice squash fairly thin.
Roughly chop oregano.
Saute squash briefly in a small saucepan with oil to release some water.
Top frozen (or lightly microwaved) Naan with the squash, oregano and cheese.
Sprinkle with kosher salt.
Broil for a few minutes.


Tomato, Basil and Quattro Formaggio Blend




Turn oven to broil setting.
Slice tomatoes and set on a paper towel to soak up excess water.
Core tomatoes if still very watery.
Layer frozen or lightly microwaved Naan with tomatoes, basil and cheese.
Sprinkle with kosher salt.
Broil for a few minutes.


I hope these Naan pizzas bring excitement to your lunch like they did for me.
