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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over medium heat. Add garlic and onions; cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add celery, carrots, rutabaga and cauliflower and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, tomatoes and lentils.
- Mix together the cornstarch and water and stir into the casserole with the broth, tabasco and oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the casserole and transfer to preheated oven. Bake 20 minutes.
- To make the topping, sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. With fingers or a pastry knife, rub in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Stir in most of the cheese and the oregano.
- Beat the egg with the milk and add enough to the dry mixture to form a soft dough. (reserve a little to brush on topping later) Knead lightly, and roll out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch circles.
- Remove dish from oven and increase temperature to 400°F Arrange the dough circles around the edge of the dish. Brush with remaining egg mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Return to oven and bake 10-12 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.
- Serve.

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.

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.
