I have a thing for flatbreads of any name and nationality – pita, roti, pizza, naan or chapati – you name it and I’ll happily eat it. Or make a sandwich out of it and then eat it.
Flatbreads are easy to make, but life gets busy. I grab them ready-made at my local international foods market or the grocery store. Naan are dependably available where I shop so I’ve been keeping them on hand lately.
You don’t have to use your own homemade mango chutney to make this simple sandwich; as our friend Ina Garten would say,”storebought is fine”…but once you see how little is involved in the recipe you might be tempted to make a batch.
The first time I made this chutney I was in a big, bad hurry and I didn’t read the recipe correctly. So I went on my merry way and caramelized the sugar before adding all the ingredients. It turned out to be one of those delicious mistakes.
I think of chutney as a gateway preserve for those with the itch to “put something up”, minus the need to fuss around with sterilizing jars, lids and giant pots full of boiling sugary fruit taking up every burner on the stove .
It keeps for forever in the fridge (Okay, maybe not forever. One year. A long time.) and it can be used in glazes, marinades, salad dressings or just as the delicious condiment it is.
this is gorgeous!
What a fantastic example of culinary catastrophe leading to delicious results – all the best food inventions happen that way! Can’t wait to give this a try
Wow! This looks amazing. I love naan and flatbreads too. And I can never resist goat cheese!
This is beautiful and brilliant! Naanwich… so clever! I can just taste the freshness from the cilantro and mango chutney. Ohhh how I love indian food! I can’t wait to try this!
This looks wonderful. I love the combination of mango chutney and goat cheese – great idea! And I love the name…”naanwich”
That nanawich looks really good!
Sounds and looks yum !!
