Grilled Naan Pizzas with Ricotta & Tomatoes

Barbecue season is upon us which for me means adapting a lot of the recipes I’d normally make in the oven for the (great!) outdoors. If you’ve never tried making pizza on the grill, I can’t recommend it enough. When I’m a little pressed for time and want a quick meal, I’ll skip the stretching of dough in favour for store-bought naan. It’s quick, it’s tasty and it makes pizza on a weeknight a doable feast no matter how busy things are.

I created this recipe after receiving my mystery box from PC Black Label for the month of June as part of their #PlayWithYourFood campaign. Here were the items to choose from for my recipe: PC “00” Pasta Flour — an imported-from-Italy flour that I had used to make this homemade saffron pasta last year –, PC Sambal Matah, a sweet chili condiment used in Balinese cuisine and PC Roasted Cherry Tomatoes. I opted for the tomatoes, and they worked really well on top of the naan. Now for the recipe!

Grilled Naan Pizzas with Ricotta & Tomatoes 
Serves 2
How it’s done:

• 2 naan breads
• 1 cup extra-smooth ricotta cheese
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 cup drained PC Roasted Cherry Tomatoes + a couple teaspoons of the oil from the jar
• 1 large handful of the no-cook greens of your choice (baby spinach, baby kale or arugula)
• lemon wedges to serve

Grill naan on both sides until lightly charred, about 1-2 minutes per side. While naan is grilling, in bowl, combine ricotta, lemon juice and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

Spread ricotta mixture over naan, top with cherry tomatoes, the oil and greens. Serve with extra lemon wedges to squeeze over.
