I’m obsessed with how easy and gorgeous this meal is. Buy the best Naan bread you can find, and ALDI offers an exceptionally delicious pre-cooked pulled pork to make it fast. It is just so dang fun to layer the ingredients, and to smell your kitchen as the onions begin to become fragrant and the bread begins to toast. But the best part is that this BBQ sauce is something you will want to put on everything. Try it as an accompaniment to pork. Let it class up a bit of shrimp on a plate. Or drizzle it on a tomato salad. Honestly. I’m licking the spoon.

INGREDIENTS
SAUCE
- 1/3 cup Olive This! Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- Smidge of nutmeg
FLATBREAD INGREDIENTS:
- 1/3 red onion, sliced thinly
- Apple cider vinegar, enough to cover the onions
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 large Naan flatbreads
- ¼ cup Olive This! Single Varietal Olive Oil, mild, divided (for garnish and rubbing on flatbread)
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pulled pork (I bought the pork pre-cooked from ALDI. Delicious!)
- ¼ cup chopped scallion, using the dark green parts
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 ounces goat cheese, softened
DIRECTIONS
Combine the onions, white sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 2 hours. Drain. Set aside.
Combine the balsamic, brown sugar, ketchup, and nutmeg in a very small saucepan. Bring to a soft boil and let simmer for 3-4 minutes reducing heat so it doesn’t boil over. Remove from heat and let cool. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Place both of the Naan breads on the parchment. Brush generously with olive oil. Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Arrange ½ cup of the cooked pulled pork on that. Arrange the pickled onion on each one. Sprinkle with the scallion, the chili flakes and the cilantro.
Bake for 7 – 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Add the goat cheese, drizzle with a bit more oil, garnish with more cilantro and finish with a VERY generous drizzle of the beautiful blackberry ginger balsamic BBQ sauce!
Cut and serve.
