Naan — something new for Noche Buena

A staple in many Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines, naan is a traditional Indian flatbread best paired with a hot bowl of curry and cooked in an authentic clay oven called tandoor.

For this festive season, chef Pepa Escalante prepares her version of this teardrop-shaped leavened bread accompanied by harissa — a North African spicy chili paste — for a tantalizing feast of flavors.
