Naan & Spread

Method

Naan & Spread

  1. 1

    Make the spread

    In a small bowl combine 3 tbs natural yogurt, 1 tbs mayonnaise, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp grated garlic, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1 tbs finely chopped coriander. Whisk until smooth and refrigerate while you prepare the rest so flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Warm the naan

    Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high. Brush both sides of the naan lightly with melted butter (about 1 tbs total) and warm in the skillet 1–2 minutes per side until pliable and slightly charred in spots. Keep warm on a plate covered with foil.

Protein — smoked streaky or cooked breakfast

  1. 3

    Smoked streaky bacon option

    Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Lay 6 slices of thick-cut smoked streaky bacon in a single layer and cook 3–5 minutes per side until crisp or to desired doneness. Remove to paper towel to drain. If you want the bacon extra-smoky, finish under a hot grill for 1–2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cooked breakfast option

    If making a cooked breakfast roll, prepare the components: fry 2–3 rashers of bacon, 1–2 breakfast sausages halved lengthwise, and a slice of black pudding (if using) in a pan with 1 tbs butter until cooked through and caramelized (total ~8–10 minutes). Fry an egg in butter to your preferred doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy). Keep everything warm.

Add-ins & Assembly

  1. 5

    Melt cheese (optional)

    If you want melted cheese, scatter 3/4 cup grated cheddar over the warm naan and place the warmed protein on top, then loosely cover the pan or put under a grill for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  2. 6

    Assemble the roll

    Spread a generous layer (about half to three-quarters) of the yogurt-garlic spread over the naan. Arrange the cooked protein (either the smoked streaky bacon or the cooked breakfast mix) down the center of the naan. If using a fried egg as an extra, place it on top of the protein. Spoon 1 tbs tamarind chutney or BBQ sauce over the protein if using. Add pickled red onion (2 tbs), 1/2 cup rocket, and extra coriander and sliced green chilli if desired. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  3. 7

    Roll and finish

    Fold the long sides of the naan over the filling and roll tightly to form the wrestler-sized wrap. Place seam-side down on the warm pan and press for 30–60 seconds to seal and warm through. Slice in half on the diagonal if desired and serve immediately.

Garnish & Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the naan roll hot with extra chutney or hot sauce on the side. Garnish with a final sprinkle of chopped coriander and a few rocket leaves. The roll is large and designed as a single hearty serving.
