Instructions

PREHEAT OVEN TO 175°C

  • Start by combining the ingredients for the marinara in a food processor or blender. Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil stems, 2 shallots (from the 100g), oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper. Combine until roughly blended. If you care less about the calories, you can add a splash of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavour.
  • Add the thinly sliced mozzarella to a plate/bowl and pat with a paper-towel to remove all the excess moisture. Rotate and pat dry both sides. This will give us a low-moisture mozzarella equivalent.
  • Place your naan onto a baking tray or pizza tray if you have one. Add around 2 large spoonfuls of the tomato base onto the naan and spread to evenly coat, leaving a small crust.
  • Top with mozzarella, thinly sliced shallots, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Add an extra sprinkle of oregano and pop in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Serve with fresh basil and optional chilli flakes if you like a little heat.

Notes

  • Use regular mozzarella instead of low moisture mozzarella by patting it dry with a paper towel to reduce moisture.
  • Place the naan on a pizza tray or metal rack in the oven to achieve a crispier base by allowing moisture to escape.
  • Consider adding toppings such as shredded chicken, sliced roasted peppers, mushrooms, ham, rocket, capers, and red onion to enhance flavor and texture.
