jalapenos and naan

If you're looking for an easy to make, different snack, check this out. It is an adaptation of a snack we had at a party a couple of weeks ago. The original recipe is as follows:

Take a naan and cut it into 2 inch triangles. Brush it with olive oil, then sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 for about 7 minutes. Let the naan cool, then spread a small bit of low fat cream cheese on top. Top that with a slice of cucumber and black olives. This is very tasty, but let's crank up the heat on this recipe.

Start with the olive oil. Take a habanero and slice it thin. Take 4 cloves of garlic and smash them. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a pan and add the veggies. Simmer on medium heat until the garlic is brown. Turn off the heat. Let the oil cool.

Cut the naan in 2 inch triangles and brush it with the olive oil. Bake at 350 for 7 minutes. Let the naan cool. Spread a little low fat cream cheese on the naan. Slice up a fresh jalapeno. Leave the seeds in too. Put a slice or 2 on top (add some cucumbers and black olives too, if you like). If you're bold, substitute a habanero for the jalapeno. If you're stupid, substitute a ghost chile.

*** As a side note, use real naan in this recipe. Don't try to cut calories with whole wheat pitas, for example. They suck and they ruin this recipe. Just limit what you eat of these to about 3 or 4 at a time for about 100 calories.
