NAAN PIZZA

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
4 pieces naan
1/2 cup pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella, for topping pizzas
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons harissa
Toppings: Crumbled feta, sliced Persian cucumbers, pitted kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onion, fresh parsley leaves, fresh mint leaves, lemon zest and juice

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cumin and coriander to the hot skillet and stir to toast until they become aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the oil and turkey, breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon into small crumbles. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and toss it so the turkey is coated in oil and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Grate the garlic cloves on a rasp grater into the skillet. Stir it into the turkey and cook until turkey is browned and fully cooked, 4 to 5 minutes more. Stir in the oregano, some lemon zest and half the lemon juice, scraping up browned bits left in the skillet. Remove from the heat and set aside.
For the kids: Put 2 naan on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce on each. Add a little bit of turkey and the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
For the adults: Mix the tahini with the harissa, remaining lemon juice, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons water if desired (see Cook's Note). Spread the tahini sauce on one side of the remaining pieces of naan. Sprinkle turkey on top of the sauce. Bake until the crust is toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Layer on feta, cucumbers, olives, red onion, parsley and mint leaves. Sprinkle with some lemon zest and spritz with a little lemon juice. Drizzle with additional tahini sauce if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.

NO-COOK PIZZA SAUCE

I've tried several pizza sauce recipes with no luck finding anything my family likes. But then I came across this recipe from New Orleans restaurant critic, Tom Fitzmorris. Although the recipe calls for canned Italian tomatoes, I prefer sliced fresh Italian plum tomatoes. Yum! Canned is fine though if that's all you have on hand.

Time 20m

Yield 3 cups of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled Italian tomatoes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
6 leaves fresh basil
6 sprigs flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt (I like Kosher salt)

Steps:

[Skip this step if you're using fresh tomatoes] Mix and semi-puree all ingredients in a food processor for about 20 seconds. 'It may seem a little too runny, but trust me--it works!'-Tom Fitzmorris.
If you're using fresh tomatoes, just slice and place evenly on top of crust, brush them with the olive oil, and sprinkle the next 6 ingredients over the tomatoes.
Now pile on your favorite toppings and bake. That's it!

Tips:

For a crispy crust, use a hot oven and a pizza stone or baking sheet. If you don't have a pizza stone, preheat a baking sheet in the oven for 10 minutes before adding the pizza.
Use a light hand with the sauce. Too much sauce will make the pizza soggy.
Add your favorite toppings. The possibilities are endless!
Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

No-sauce naan pizzas are a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is customized to your liking. So next time you're short on time or just looking for a change from your usual pizza routine, give no-sauce naan pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
