Description
Tender, grilled chunks of mango pair so perfectly with creamy avocado, tomato, cucumber, cashew cheese and fresh herbs. The best part about this flatbread - you don't have to turn on your oven in the summer heat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flatbreads, store bought or homemade (recipe follows)
- 2 Tbsp. red onion, diced
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 8 hours
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- ¼ cup + 3 Tbsp. water
- ¼ tsp. sea salt
- 1 ½ cups mini heirloom tomatoes, quartered
- ½ cucumber, small diced
- ¼ cup fresh mint or basil (or both)
- 1 mango, peeled and sliced into ½-inch wedges
- 1 avocado, sliced
For the flatbread
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp. coconut sugar
- 2 Tbsp. warm water
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. plain, unsweetened non-dairy yogurt (I used coconut)
- 2 tsp. coconut oil, divided
Instructions
If you’re using store bought flatbread, skip to step 8.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, yeast, and coconut sugar in a medium sized bowl. Pour the warm water over the mixture and stir.
- Stir in the yogurt until the dough comes together, then turn onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead lightly for about three minutes.
- Roll the dough into a ball and return it to the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes (the dough will not rise during this time).
- After 10 minutes, slice the dough in half and roll the pieces into two smaller balls. Return the dough to the mixing bowl and brush with a teaspoon of coconut oil. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest until the balls double in size, about an hour.
- Once the dough has risen, transfer each ball to a lightly floured surface and knead for a minute. Then roll the pieces out into a thin oval, about 10 inches long.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the remaining teaspoon of coconut oil. Add one flatbread and cook until it bubbles and spots start to brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the flatbread over and cook until lightly browned on the opposite side.
- Transfer the cooked flatbread to a cutting board. Melt another teaspoon of coconut oil in the skillet and cook the remaining flatbread. When done, remove pan from heat and set flatbreads aside.
- Dice the red onion and put it in a small bowl of cold water while you prep the other ingredients. Soaking the raw onion removes some of the sharp flavor.
- To make the cashew cheese, put the soaked cashews, lemon juice, water, and sea salt in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender with a rubber spatula as needed. Scoop the cashew cheese into a small bowl; adjust lemon juice and salt to taste.
- Combine the quartered tomatoes, diced cucumber, and fresh herbs in another small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss gently.
- Preheat your grill to medium-low. Grill the mango slices for 3 minutes on each side. If your mango chunks are particularly soft, only grill on one side. Set aside.
- Drain the water from the red onion and pat dry with a paper towel. Add the red onion to the bowl with the tomatoes, cucumber, and herbs.
- To assemble the flatbreads, spread a heaping spoonful of cashew cheese onto each flatbread. Layer on the grilled mango and avocado slices. Top with the tomato and cucumber mixture; add more fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Prep time includes 1 hour of passive time to let the flatbread dough rise.
