I have enjoyed naan for a very long time, but I have never
had garlic naan. So when I saw on
Instagram that there was one available, I made sure I picked up a bag of Trader Joe’s Garlic Naan. The naan is
sold in the freezer section and comes with 4 pieces in a bag.
When you open the bag you are awarded with a nice fresh
garlic scent. According to the packaging
it’s hand-stretched bread that’s topped with garlic and coriander and then
baked in a tranditional Indian clay tandoor oven. Since the naan is frozen, it has to be heated
in the oven for roughly 10 minutes before served up. My oven cooks incredibly
fast so I only cooked it for about 5-6 minutes before I had to pull it out of
the oven.
It was perfect alongside an Indian dish for dinner – but as
I’ve seen on Instagram this would be fabulous as a base for pizza. Add a little sauce, a little cheese and a few
toppings and you have the start of a deliciously amazing garlic bread pizza. A whole naan is a pretty decent size (larger
than a personal size pizza) so it would make a complete meal with a side salad.
Possibilities are endless … as long as
you’re a garlic fan!
A whole piece is 190 calories and 5 points plus, but I have
found ½ is enough to be a side along with dinner – which comes out to be 2
points plus.
QUESTION:
Have you tried the garlic naan or regular naan at Trader Joe’s?
