I spent the first part of this week at a conference in Vermont with my lab mate Dave. The food at these things tends to be pretty mediocre, but we did have a delicious meal at American Flatbread in downtown Burlington (which was a super cute area!). Our flatbread was topped with local maple-fennel pork sausage, sundried tomatoes, caramelized onions, cheese, and herbs – yum! The other foodie highlight was visiting the Ben and Jerry’s Factory on the way home! It was completely packed, but we still had a great time stuffing ourselves with ice cream and going on the factory tour.
When we got home on Wednesday night, I discovered the fridge was pretty bare, but I managed to find some whole wheat naan in the back of the freezer, and decided to make a quick flatbread of my own with an Indian twist. I topped the naan with a curried chickpea mash and edamame. I’ve always enjoyed chickpeas and edamame together and thought this was a very tasty quick and easy dinner!

Mashed chickpeas with edamame on this flatbread sounds absolutely wonderful. You invent the best recipes, Kerstin! So creative.

What a great topping for flatbread! The chickpea mixture sounds delicious.
mmmm…yummy and nutricious. Sounds great and pretty simple
Looks tasty and healthy. I love Naan.
That sounds delicious! I love anything chickpea and edamame. I also happen to adore bread. What a quick and delicious dinner! Glad you’re back.
Tj’s naan is the best! I also love anything chickpea and edamame – and curry. I have a friend that lives in Burlington – I need to go up there an check it out!
I eat Naan all the time, love it. Curried Chickpeas and Edamame sounds like a delicious topping!
Lovely indeed! easy, very creative & so tasty looking!! Healthy too!
An excellent dinner idea!!
Nice way to enjoy something light and easy after your trip. I love sneaking in extra fiber in my diet, and this looks delicious
I really have to try that flatbread combo. Love chickpeas but haven’t really gotten into edamame, though my sister keeps raving on it. I would love to go back to Vermont, haven’t been there in years. My BFF’s cousins lived in Burlington and we visited them for 2 weeks way back when. Have also skiied quite a few places. It’s a beautiful state. Ben & Jerry’s – yaay.
Mmm, bread + toppings, wonderful in any culture!
Great recipes Kerstin! Looks delicious. Years back my mom took my two older boys to Vermont and they also went to Ben & Jerry’s. They still talk about it!!!!
Curry is one of my favorite spices. This is a must try!
Oh wow this looks gorgeous and I’ll bet it was utterly delicious! I love the textures and flavors going in there!
I love naan bread. What a delicious meal you prepared.
Yum! This looks delicious! I love curry. It sounds like you had a great time. I would love to visit the Ben and Jerry’s factory. That’s an experience of a lifetime.
I got Indian food last night and thought I had my fill of naan but you’re proving otherwise by the fact that I’m still salivating over this. Great for a quick weeknight meal!
I love Indian food. This is a great quick meal!
I adore Naan – I’m so glad you posted this, I have yet to try making it but it sounds great and the photo is just beautiful, I love the colors.
I love all three components and all of them together sounds awesome.
Love all of these flavors! That’s so resourceful of you to throw this together without a grocery store trip
I was at a conference in New Hampshire last month but unfortunately we didn’t get to leave the site at all 
We had to fly into Boston (my first time there) and quickly hop on a bus to the site – no exploration at all!
Yum, naan is one of my favorite things ever and this looks pretty easy and super flavorful. Fabulous recipe!!
that sounds delish! and great for a quick meal
i meant to ask if that was your roasted red pepper almond pasta at lunch today?!
Thanks everyone! This was so easy to throw together that I’ll definitely be making it again.
Meghan – Awww, I wish you had more time in Boston so we could have met! Hopefully I’ll be in Chi-Town soon!
Shannon – Yep, that was the pasta, I make it at least once a month
Wholesome naan,love it with curry and edamame.I always have a bag of those for snacking
Yum! I love the idea of this tangy curried hummus type spread. I am always looking for variations on hummus!
Very novel idea!
Next time you make it, after you saute the onions, add the curry powder and saute for another minute before you add any wet ingredient. Will help bring out the true flavors and aroma of the spices.
Thanks for the great suggestion DesiCook, I will definitely try that next time!
This meal is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. I will definitely be making this!
