Main Ingredients
- 4 Naan or Tortillas
- Fresh Spinach
- Frozen or Fresh Mango
- Blueberries
- Strawberries
- Honey
- Mayonnaise
- Sliced Almonds
- Grated Parmesan or Grana Padano Cheese (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Carefully remove any yellowed or wilted leaves from the spinach. Separate the fresh leaves one by one and wash them thoroughly under running water. Gently pat them dry or let them air dry completely to ensure the flatbread doesn’t become soggy.
Step 2
If using frozen mango, slice it thinly and flatly so it sits well on the bread. For fruits, it’s best to choose varieties that are soft and sweet, rather than crisp and tart. Delicious options include canned peaches, fruit cocktail, fresh strawberries, or ripe mangoes.
Step 3
Warm the naan or tortillas in a dry pan over low heat. Toast them lightly on both sides until warm and slightly pliable. This step enhances their chewy texture.
Step 4
Place a warm naan on a serving plate. Using a spoon or knife, spread a thin, even layer of mayonnaise across the entire surface of the bread. This acts as a delicious base and helps the toppings adhere.
Step 5
Next, drizzle honey generously and evenly over the mayonnaise layer. A slightly runnier honey is ideal for easy drizzling, but agave nectar can be used as a substitute if honey is unavailable.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add the toppings! Start by spreading the prepared spinach evenly over the honey. Then, artfully arrange the sliced mango and fresh berries, scattering them across the spinach.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of sliced almonds for a delightful crunch, followed by a good dusting of grated Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese. Your delicious flatbread is now complete!
Step 8
Isn’t this recipe wonderfully simple? The natural sweetness of winter spinach makes it especially flavorful right now. Made with wholesome ingredients, it’s a fantastic nutritious snack for children and a satisfying meal replacement for busy days.
Step 9
The harmonious combination of these ingredients creates an exceptional taste experience. If spinach is out of season, consider using fresh, crisp vitamin greens or cute little vitamin cress for a similar fresh appeal.
