On our first grocery shopping adventure, Boyfriend and I decided to buy the makings for naan pizza - already made, hand-stretched naan, goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts and mushrooms.
Naan, for those of you folks who don't know, is a leavened flatbread that hails from South, West and Central Asia (according to wiki). And it is deslish when fresh- not too bad when you pick it up at the deli counter, either, frankly.
So, tonight, we fired up our oven (400°) and created two wonderful naan pizzas! We used some of the oil from the sundried tomatoes to thinly coat the naan before topping it with cheese, maters, chokes and 'shrooms. I thought we should have used less toppings to really let the naan and goat cheese shine, but Boyfriend loved it.
I should now pay tribute to the muse of this eating adventure, Soup Spoon Café (www.soupspooncafe.com). They regularly make naan pizzas with varying ingredients. If I remember correctly, the naan pizza I had there was carmelized onion and... something else that was fabulous. Whatever it was, it made me want to recreate it myself! And I did! And it was good! We will welcome any suggestions of other toppings anyone wants to give us.
Did I take photos of these naan pizzas? No! I remembered far too late, and we decided taking a photo of the last bite on a plate would be just too mean. I'm sorry! I know I need to do start doing that, otherwise no one (but my mom) will read this anymore. I hear you. I promise promise to take photos of the next thing I make. Which will be beet soup for the masses on Sunday! Look for it then!
Do good. Eat well.
Yum! I made a naan pizza yesterday, but I like the sound of yours better :)
