Root Vegetable Cobbler With Chive Biscuit Topping Recipes

Steps:

• For filling:
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until deep golden, about 7 minutes. Add next 7 in-gredients and stir 1 minute. Add broth and 1 cup water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until vegetables are almost tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cream, shiitake mushrooms, peas and chives. Season to taste with salt. Bring mixture to simmer. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon butter and flour in small bowl to blend. Stir into vegetable mixture; simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Divide vegetable mixture among six 2-cup soufflé or baking dishes; set aside. (Can be prepared 1 1/2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• For biscuit topping:
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into bowl. Stir in chives. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture re-sembles coarse meal. Add eggs and milk and stir until soft moist dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto generously floured surface. Knead gently just to combine. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces; pat out each piece to 31/2-inch round. Place 1 dough round atop vegetable filling in each dish (some filling will show around edges). Place dishes on large baking sheet. Bake until topping is golden and vegetable mixture is heated through, about 18 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• For the vegetables: Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Stir together the Parmesan, parsley, rosemary, thyme, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Spread the eggplant in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, cutting rounds in half or overlapping slightly if necessary. Scatter 1/4 cup of the Parmesan mixture over the top of the eggplant. Top with a single layer of tomato slices, then scatter the corn kernels in an even layer over the tomatoes and follow with another 1/4 cup of the Parmesan mixture. Add a single layer of the yellow squash slices, then break the onions into rings and scatter over the top. Layer over the bell pepper, then another 1/4 cup of the Parmesan mixture; top with a layer of zucchini slices and finish with an even sprinkling of the remaining Parmesan mixture. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large mixing bowl. Grate the cold butter on the large holes of a box grater and stir into the flour mixture so all the butter pieces are coated with flour. Stir the Cheddar and scallions into the flour mixture. Make a well in the center, then add the sour cream and milk to the well and stir with a wooden spoon just until the ingredients are moistened. Using a cookie scoop or large serving spoon, drop scant 1/2-cup mounds evenly spaced over the top of the vegetables.
• Bake until the biscuits are deep golden brown, the filling is bubbling along the edges and the vegetables give easily when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables- peel and chop into 1 inch chunks.
• Place the chopped tomatoes, crushed garlic, olive oil, and a teaspoon of oregano into a large saucepan.
• Simmer gently for 5 minutes then add the chopped vegetables.
• Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Place in a large casserole dish, with the lentils, in oven on a medium heat (350 degrees F) for one hour.
• Prepare the cobbler tops by rubbing the flour and a teaspoon of mixed herbs into the vegetable fat.
• Mix to a stiff paste with some water and shape into balls.
• Place on top of the casserole for 20 minutes or until browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, red pepper and onion; cook and stir 10-12 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., In a small bowl, whisk flour, milk, salt and pepper; stir into vegetables. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Spoon into a greased 8-in. square baking dish., For topping, in a small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese and basil. Add milk; stir just until moistened. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls over filling. Bake 25-30 minutes or until filling is bubbly and biscuits are golden brown.
