Mediterranean dishes can encompass a wide variety of cooking. With such a wide selection of cultures and countries touching the Mediterranean Sea, the dishes are endless. One of the best weeknight dishes is a flatbread, bursting with bold flavors and tangy textures. The great thing about these flavors is you can impart them boldly in a short amount of time.

Let us begin:

In a large bowl mix together 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, minced garlic, tomato paste, shallot, and mint
Add in ground meat and mix to fully blend, try not to over work meat.
On a baking tray, lay out Naan pieces.
Divide mixture in four and spread onto each Naan piece.
