  • cup currants dried
  •  lemon zest 
  • tablespoon olive oil 
  • servings parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.3 cup pinenuts 
  • cup roast chicken shredded
  • pinch saffron threads mixed with 1t hot water
  • servings salt and pepper black freshly ground

Equipment

Directions

  1. Trim any leaves from the celery (save them for later) and cut the stalks into ¼-inch dice.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat, add the smashed garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Remove garlic and add the diced celery and pine nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes until the nuts begin to brown.
  4. Pour in the raisins with their wine, cook a moment more, letting the liquid bubble; stir in the chicken, capers with its brine, the olives, lemon zest and saffron with its water, mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Heat a large dry skillet over medium-high heat. Working one at a time warm each naan until soft and pliable but not yet toasted.
  6. Lay the 4 naan bread pieces out on 4 separate serving plates.
  7. Sprinkle a generous amount of celery leaves onto each one. Top each with some of the chicken mixture. Give each a good grinding of black pepper and finish with a little Parmesan cheese, if you like. Fold the naan over “sandwich style”.
  8. Cut in half.
  9. Serve warm.
