Ingredients

Scale

Naan Flatbread Base

  • 2 naan breads
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (natural), for brushing

Caramelized Onions

  • 3 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic (natural), minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt (natural), to taste
  • Black pepper (natural), to taste

Toppings

  • 100g plant-based cheese, shredded or sliced
  • 100g smoked turkey slices
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caramelized Onions: Thinly slice the yellow onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (natural) in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the onions and minced garlic (natural), stirring occasionally, and cook slowly until they become soft and golden caramelized strands. Towards the end, stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt (natural), and black pepper (natural) to deepen the flavor.
  2. Crisp the Naan Base: While the onions caramelize, heat another pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush each naan lightly with olive oil (natural) and toast until the bottom is golden and crispy while keeping the inside soft.
  3. Add the Toppings: Once naan is crisp, layer with caramelized onions evenly, then arrange smoked turkey slices on top. Cover with plant-based cheese and melt it by placing the flatbread briefly under a grill or covering the pan with a lid to encourage melting.
  4. Final Touch and Serve: Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves (natural) over the melted cheese. Slice the flatbread into manageable pieces and serve immediately to enjoy the crispy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Caramelize onions slowly on low heat to develop deep sweetness without burning.
  • Use just enough olive oil (natural) to prevent sticking and achieve crispiness without weighing down the naan.
  • Try different plant-based cheese varieties for preferred melt and flavor.
  • Warm naan briefly before toasting to ensure even crisping and avoid sogginess.
  • Layer onions before turkey and cheese for the best flavor melding and heat distribution.
