Naan Caprese

For my regular readers you know about my Friday Five.  For all the time I have showcased other blogger recipes, I have to admit that I have not often tried the recipes.  Not because I did not want to but my logistics are that I plan my Sunday of cooking before I put together my Friday Five.  I, then, have to many ideas I still want to try that I do not remember to back and look at these wonderful offerings.  But this recipe is one that I did remember to use.  The Naan Caprese from Oh My Veggies.  I personally think this looks impressive but is really easy to put together.

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
• 3 naan
• 1 – 2 tbsp olive oil
• 6 – 8 cherry tomatoes, red and yellow halved
• 6 – 8 small fresh mozzarella balls halved
• 5 leaves of fresh basil, cut into ribbons
• salt + pepper to taste

instructions

1. Heat balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until syrupy.  I found it took longer than the recipe said so be patient – 10 – 15 minutes.  You will end with about a tbsp.
2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil.  Add the naan. Cook on each side until just beginning to char, about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with each piece of naan.

1. Top each naan with tomatoes, cheese, and basil.

1. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with balsamic reduction. Cut into wedges and serve.  Enjoy!
