IRISH VEGETABLE COBBLER

Cobblers in Ireland are most often a savory main dish rather than a fruit dessert. This one is vegetarian. I have used parsnips in place of the carrots, also. I recently doubled the recipe for a potluck and started it in a very large Dutch oven and transferred it to a large deep baking dish and then topped it with the biscuits.

Tips:

Choose the right vegetables: Use a variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor. Root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and turnips are good choices, as are leafy greens like kale or spinach.
Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the cobbler.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave some space between the vegetables so they can cook properly.
Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the cobbler crust cook evenly and give it a nice flavor.
Don't overmix the biscuit dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough.
Bake the cobbler until the crust is golden brown and the vegetables are tender: This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving: This will help the crust set.

Conclusion:

Irish vegetable cobbler is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a crispy biscuit crust and a flavorful vegetable filling, this cobbler is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
