GREEN TOMATO COBBLER

Steps:

• 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.

GREEN TOMATO PIE

Steps:

• Mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, 3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca and the zest of 1 lemon. Cut 2 pounds green tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices; dip completely in the sugar mixture, then arrange in pie shell, adding 1/2 cup golden raisins as you layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons lemon juice and dot with 4 tablespoons butter.
• Perfect All-Butter Piecrust
• Pulse 3 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Add 1 diced stick cold butter; process until combined. Add 2 more diced sticks cold butter; pulse three times, or until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar. Gradually pour in 1/3 cup ice water, pulsing about four times until combined. Turn out onto a clean surface and press into a cohesive dough without overworking (you should see bits of butter). Wrap in plastic wrap and press into a 1-inch-thick disk; refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out.
• How to Make a Pie
• Divide the chilled dough in half; roll 1 piece into a 12-inch, 1/8-inch-thick circle on a lightly floured surface (refrigerate the other piece).
• Roll the dough onto a rolling pin, then unroll it into a 9-inch glass pie plate, letting it hang over the edge; add filling.
• Roll out the other piece of dough and place over the filling; press the crust edges together and trim, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Roll up or pinch the overhang to seal.
• Place a foil-lined baking sheet on a rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees. Wrap an oiled, wide band of foil around the pie edge to protect the crust. Make slashes in the top of the crust; chill for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the pie for 30 minutes. Remove the foil band, brush the crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes; cool before slicing.

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.
