Tomato Cobbler Food

TOMATO COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish or a deep pie plate; set aside.
• Place tomato wedges in a large bowl; sprinkle with cornstarch and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
• Place flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Add egg and buttermilk, pulse a few more times until mixture comes together. If the mixture is too liquid, add more flour, a spoonful at a time. If mixture is too dry, add a few drops of buttermilk.
• Gently toss tomato mixture again and spread it over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of the flour mixture on top, spreading evenly with a knife, leaving some gaps so that steam can escape. Transfer cobbler to oven and bake until golden and bubbling, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

TOMATO COBBLER

Steps:

• Make the filling: Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat. Cook onions, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
• Toss onion mixture, tomatoes, flour, and red-pepper flakes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and some pepper.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the biscuit topping: Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers until small clumps form. Stir in cheese, then add cream, stirring with a fork to combine until dough forms. (Dough will be slightly sticky.)
• Transfer tomato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish (2 inches deep). Spoon 7 clumps of biscuit dough (about 1/2 cup each) over top in a circle, leaving center open. Brush dough with cream, and sprinkle with remaining tablespoon cheese. Bake until tomatoes are bubbling in the center and biscuits are golden brown, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Let cool for 20 minutes.

TOMATO COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• To make the topping: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Cut 4 tablespoons of butter into chunks and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cheese then add buttermilk, mixing between additions, until the mixture holds together but is not "wet". Place in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
• Make the filling: Slice the seeded tomatoes. Place half the tomatoes on a paper-towel lined plate and salt. Leave to drain, occasionally pressing with more paper towels on top to get out as much moisture as possible. Place the olive oil into a medium (10-inch) pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion in the olive oil until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes that you didn't salt. Cook and stir until most of liquid has cooked out, 10-15 minutes. Add the salted tomatoes, basil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Assemble the cobbler: Pour the tomato mixture into an 8-inch baking dish. Roll the topping out onto a floured surface to about a 1 ½ inch thickness. Cut using a biscuit cutter-this should make about nine biscuits. Top the tomato mixture with the biscuits.
• Bake the cobbler for 30 minutes. If the biscuits have not browned on top after 30 minutes, use the broiler to brown the top. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

EASY TOMATO COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Cut larger tomatoes in half or fourths so that all tomatoes are similar in size. In large bowl, toss tomatoes, melted butter, onion, garlic, flour, Italian seasoning and salt. Pour into ungreased 2-quart baking dish.
• Bake about 30 minutes or until tomatoes soften and begin to split.
• In small bowl, stir Bisquick mix and milk. Drop by spoonfuls on top of tomatoes. Lightly brush with egg mixture.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

TOMATO, CORN, RICOTTA & PARMESAN COBBLER

Steps:

• Put the ricotta in a sieve lined with a piece of muslin, set over a bowl. Put in the fridge and leave to drain for a couple of hours - you want it to drain enough so it's no longer 'wet'.
• Put the flour, cornmeal, ½ tsp salt, baking powder, bicarb and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients, as if you were making pastry. Make a well in the centre, pour in the buttermilk and, using a knife, gradually mix together. You should end up with a soft dough. Crumble over the ricotta and mix into the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using your hands, shape it into a rectangle, about 20 x 15cm. Fold the top third into the middle, then do the same with the bottom third. Press the mixture into a 20 x 15 rectangle again, and repeat the process two more times. You should end up with a dough that's about 2.5cm thick. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the tomatoes in a baking dish (about 20 x 30cm) with the corn kernels. Add the vinegar, some seasoning and 1½ tbsp oil, and toss to coat. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and cook the onions until golden and soft, about 12 mins. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more, then add the thyme and some seasoning. Spoon the onion mixture over the tomatoes and corn.
• Lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into rough circles or squares using a knife. Arrange the dough shapes over the veg, leaving some space between them. Sprinkle with the parmesan and bake for 45 mins until golden and bubbling (you should be able to see the tomatoes bubbling up from underneath the cobbler topping). Leave to cool a little - the tomatoes will be very hot when they come out of the oven - then serve.

TOMATO COBBLER WITH GRUYERE CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust, combine the flour, cheese, thyme, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to mix.
• Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds.
• Still pulsing the machine, drizzle the ice water in little by little through the chute until the dough begins to hold together without becomming wet or sticky.
• Do not process more than 30 seconds or the dough will be tough rather than tender.
• to test, press a small amount of the dough together, if it is crumbly add more water 1 teaspoon at a time.
• Form the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375*F.
• Lightly grease a 9 1/2 inch or 10 inch deep dish pie pan.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is tender and aromatic, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Set aside to cool slightly.
• Put the tomatoes in a large bowl, add the basil, flour, salt, sugar and pepper and toss gently to mix.
• Stir in the cooled onion mixture, then spoon into prepared pan.
• Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a circle that is 1 inch larger in diameter than the pie pan.
• Transfer the dough to the sidh, tuck the edges in around the tomatoe filling and crimp the edge.
• make 3 or 4 small slits in the crust to allow steam to escape.
• Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl.
• Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the Gruyere cheese.
• Set the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Cover the crust with foil loosely if it is browned before the filling is hot.
• Let cool to room temp before serving.

TOMATO COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling: Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, garlic and shallots to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Drizzle in the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.
• For the drop biscuit topping: Combine the flour, Parmesan, baking powder, oregano, thyme and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the dry ingredients and the butter are mostly combined. (If you do not have a food processor, this can be done with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the buttermilk and pulse (or stir in with a wooden spoon) until the mixture just forms a dough. Be careful not to overmix, as the biscuits will become tough when baked if you do.
• Using 2 large spoons, drop 1/4 cup-sized balls of dough on top of the tomato mixture. Transfer to the oven, then bake until the biscuit topping is golden, and the filling is hot and bubbling, 24 to 26 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.

• Put the tomatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and drain in a colander.
• In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, brown sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, raisins, the 3 tablespoons butter, salt, cloves and nutmeg. Mix well and transfer to the casserole dish. Sprinkle with the almonds.
• To make the topping: in a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients to make a stiff, biscuit-like dough. Scoop out the dough to make small mounds on the tomato mixture.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomato filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned. Serve warm or a room temperature with whipped cream.

TOMATO-AND-CHEESE COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Gently toss tomato slices with 1 Tbsp. salt in a medium bowl, then arrange in an even layer on paper towels. Let sit until most of the juices are released, about 15 minutes. Pat tomatoes dry with more paper towels.
• Meanwhile, whisk pepper, baking powder, baking soda, 1 1/2 cups flour, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl to combine. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives until pea-size pieces form. Stir in buttermilk, chives, and 3/4 cup cheese with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Gently knead 2-3 times until dough just comes together, being careful not to overwork. Roll out dough to 3/4" thick. Cut with a 2" flour-dipped biscuit cutter or small glass. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet and chill until ready to use.
• Pour oil into a large deep heatproof skillet or braising dish. Arrange tomato slices in even layers in pan (you'll have about 3 layers); top with thyme. Roast until tomato juices start to bubble, 15-20 minutes.
• Discard thyme sprigs. Flatten tomatoes into an even layer with a spatula, then sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Arrange biscuits over, spacing about 1" apart. Whisk egg and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. Brush biscuits with egg wash. Bake until biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch, 18-20 minutes. Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
