TOMATO COBBLER WITH RICOTTA BISCUITS

Steps:

• Prepare the ricotta: Strain the ricotta in a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer for at least 30 minutes. When it's ready to use, squeeze to get rid of any excess moisture.
• Prepare the ricotta biscuits: Put 2 1/2 cups cake flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer to the freezer to chill for about 20 minutes. Add the butter to the bowl and smear the pieces between your fingers, pinching them to make thin pieces and smushing these into the flour mixture until no big pieces are left.
• Make a well in the middle of the bowl and gradually pour in 1 cup buttermilk while using a fork to fluff in the flour from the sides of the bowl until you form a shaggy-looking dough. Crumble in the ricotta and loosely incorporate with your fingers.
• Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and use your hands to shape it into a roughly 4-inch-by-6-inch rectangle. Fold into thirds and flatten back to the same size with your hands; repeat two more times, flattening the dough out until about 1-inch thick. Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven, and heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut about half the tomatoes in half. In a 2-quart baking dish, combine all the tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar and thyme sprigs with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cake flour. Season generously with salt and pepper, and let sit while you prepare the biscuit dough.
• Lay the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut into 2-inch squares or circles and arrange in a single layer over the tomatoes - you should have around 10 to 12 biscuits. Roll and cut scraps, or just bake the scraps separately to snack on. Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk on top of the biscuits, and bake for 45 minutes, until the tomato mixture has bubbled up and the biscuits are browned on top. Allow to cool, and serve warm or at room temperature, finishing with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

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:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the filling: Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and cayenne and cook 1 more minute. Add the chopped tomatoes, brown sugar and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes just begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, then gently stir in the cherry tomatoes and flour. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish and dot with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• Make the topping: Whisk the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal with pea-size pieces of butter. Add the milk, mustard and thyme and gently mix with a fork just until a sticky dough forms, being careful not to overwork the dough.
• Drop balls of dough over the tomato filling and brush the dough with milk. Place the cobbler on a baking sheet and bake until golden and bubbling, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

• 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.

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.
• Do Ahead: Dough can be formed into biscuits 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
