Another Middle Eastern-inspired thing:
A so-called "naan," according to the package,* undergirds the whole dish. Next—a layer of homemade hummus that is pretty so-so and not blended enough to be smooth (but it still tastes good). On top of that: cherry tomatoes, olives, cucumber bits, onion flakes, parsley, and feta. I should probably have drizzled on some olive oil and maybe sprinkled some garlic powder atop the whole thing.
I originally wanted to eat this like a pizza, but the naan was too droopy, so I settled for a taco-like approach. Two of these constituted lunch, along with some tandoori-style chicken breast. Not bad, all in all. I'll be doing this again this coming week.

*I had ordered this naan via Coupang, and to me, it looked more like a paratha or roti. I normally think of naan as a bit thicker and less rubbery. I'll give the product credit for being thoroughly saturated in butter, to the point where the Korean-language instructions specifically said not to add oil to the frying pan—just place the flatbread on the pan, fry it up, flip it, and fry until done. It wasn't horrible by any means, but I doubt I'll be buying this brand again. I want normal, familiar-looking naan.
It might be better when deep-fried.
