What is the vegetable equivalent of a cobbler? There are tons of websites that explain the difference between fruit + dough/batter/cake-like desserts ( Have you heard of a “Clafoutis?”) and then you go ahead and substitute with vegetables and … … silence.
I like to think of this as combination of pan pizza and an onion roll. Turned upside down. This recipe was inspired from a cobbler I made….so the cobbler name wins. Whatever you want to call this. It’s delicious.
Onion Bread
Yield:
8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large onion (234 grams), diced (~1¾ cup)
- 2 tablespoon (28mL) avocado oil, divided
- 1 cup all purpose flour (120 grams)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (28 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (4 grams)
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda (1 gram)
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (2 grams) + more to taste
- 1 tablespoon quinoa (11 grams)
- 1 cup 2% milk (240 mL)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon (10 grams) poppy seeds
- pepper, to taste
- 1 plum tomato, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Heat a 10 inch cast iron frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon oil and onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent (~10 minutes), stir occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt and quinoa. Add milk and egg. Whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- Once the onions are finished cooking, turn off the heat. Stir in poppy seeds. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange tomato slices in a single layer around the pan.
- Pour the batter into the frying pan. Carefully transfer to pre-heated 400°F oven. Bake 25-30 minutes, until the top has turned a light brown color.
- After removing from the oven, immediately run a thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Cut and serve from the skillet or carefully invert the bread onto a flat serving piece and cut into wedges.
