Lahvosh(es)

We go to Omaha to a food show at the Qwest Center twice a year and there is a cool
area very close to it called the Old Market. It is full of restaurants, bars,
little shops, street performers on the cobblestone streets. Fun! We have been to most of the restaurantsoften enough that we now have our favorites and one of them is M’s Pub. I havenot found an entrée at M’s that I love (sorry M’s) but they have some amazing appetizers, my favorite being a Thai Lahvosh. A lahvosh is a big cracker-like
bread, crunchy and pretty tasteless, but it is a perfect base for yummy
toppings.  I experimented and came up with this recipe in an attempt to duplicate M’s delicious app. It’s close!  They have a buffalo chicken lahvosh, not
my personal favorite, but pretty darn good too.

Thai Lahvosh

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Lahvosh (12)
  • 1 & 1/2 Medium Grilled chicken breasts ((see Chipotle Lime Marinated Chicken Breasts posted today))
  • 1/3 cup Thai peanut sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Barbecue sauce
  • 1 Medium Roma tomato (chopped and patted dry with paper towel)
  • 4 Medium Green onions (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Peanuts (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Monterrey jack cheese (shredded, or some other mild cheese)

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 deg.
Step 2
Combine peanut sauce and barbecue sauce and spread lightly on lahvosh, reserving 1 Tbs (mixture won't cover entire surface, just be sure that each piece will have some).
Step 3
Top with sliced chicken and cheese and bake for 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with tomato, onions, cilantro and peanuts. Drizzle with reserved sauce.
Step 5
TRY to cut with a pizza cutter, but it won't work. You'll end up breaking it into serving-size pieces.

Buffalo Chicken Lahvosh 4-27-13

Buffalo Chicken Lavosh

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Lahvosh (12)
  • 1 & 1/2 Medium Grilled chicken breast (see today's post for Chipotle Lime Marinated Chicken Breasts)
  • 1/3 cup Ranch or blue cheese salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (Frank's or Louisiana are our favorites)
  • 1/2 cup Blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup Monterrey Jack cheese (or some other mild cheese)
  • 1/2 cup Celery, chopped
  • 2 Medium Green onions, chopped

Note

The first time I made this, I used 1/3 cup of Frank's and 1 Tbs. of salad dressing. WOW! Was it hot!! I think this ratio will work much better. The image with this recipe does not show the celery or green onions because 1 of our guests is not a fan of celery.

 

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Step 2
Combine salad dressing and hot sauce and spread lightly on lahvosh, reserving 1 Tbs. Top with sliced chicken, cheeses and bake for 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from oven, sprinkle with celery and onions. Drizzle with reserved sauce. Cut and serve.
