Sope de Chorizo con Huevos

This was a one sope (open face taco) meal with the base being Naan bread rather than the masa.  I really missed the masa even though all that I have had in restaurant seemed that the dough was needed cooking more.  I thought the sturdy Naan would solve that problem and it certainly did but the flavor just didn't compare.  I will stick to pizza and open face sandwich when using Naan.  It went like this - start with layering the Naan with refried beans, top with shredded mozzarella and run under a broiler to melt the cheese, top with the Choriz con Huevos (eggs and chorizo), top with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and crumbling cheese.

Naan Pizza

Here's a great way to make a great pizza at home.  Just use Naan to make it with and proceed as normal.  This Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Pizza was as good as I think I have ever had and of course, using the Naan was as easy as it gets as well.  I used tomato pizza sauce that we made from garden fresh tomaotes, the onion & mushrooms, mozzarella cheese, a few anchovies, and fresh mozzarella.  Heat the Naan for 3 min, spread the sauce on, add the grated mozz, onions and shrooms, fresh mozz, and anchovies.  Heat in 450 oven until the cheese melts.

Baguettes

Baguettes have become my "everything" bread taking the place of sandwich loaf bread, burger and hot dog buns, and dinner rolls.  The Beef Brisket slices you see here fit perfectly on the Baguette and made me wonder why I had never used them for BBQ before.

Garlic Vegetable Soup

Soup is a "whatever you have on hand" thing but I would never make soup without loads of garlic.  I love the Mexican way of adding things to the bowl at the table, such as finely shredded cabbage and jalapeno as you see here, radish slices would be good as well.
