- ½cupparmesan cheesegrated
- 2clovesgarlic roughly chopped
- 1tbsplemon juiceplus more for garnish
- ¼ tspsalt
- freshly ground black pepper
- ⅓cupextra-virgin olive oilplus more for the broccoli rabe
- 3 grain naan flatbreads
- ¾cupcrumbled feta cheese
- broccoli rabe
- red pepper flakes for garnishing
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F then prepare the broccoli rabe by rinsing it and patting it dry. Slice off the tough lower ends.
-
Toss the rabe with a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Rub the olive oil onto the leaves to make sure the rabe is lightly and evenly coated with oil. Set aside.
-
In a food processor or blender, combine the basil, almonds, parmesan, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and a few twists of freshly ground black pepper.
-
Process the pesto while slowly drizzling in the olive oil, until the mixture is relatively smooth and uniform.
-
Place the naan on an oven-safe metal cooling rack, if you have one, then place the rack on a baking sheet to catch any drips. If not, just place the naan directly onto a baking sheet.
-
Spread pesto on the naan and top with crumbled feta cheese. Top with an even layer of broccoli rabe and a light sprinkle of sliced almonds.
-
Bake until the broccoli rabe is tender and the leaves are deep green and crispy about 8 to 9 minutes. Squeeze a small wedge of lemon over the naan and top with a light sprinkling of red pepper flakes.
-
Let the naan cool slightly before slicing it with a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serving.
