Limas and Salsa on Naan by Rich H

Using up some leftovers can lead to a pretty good dish now and again. This one came about after a long weekend away. I decided to use some leftover Naan bread, red peppers and green onions. It was a very satisfying meal, served with fresh fruit and a nice red wine.
