Cherry-Cornmeal Slump (or Grunt) image

Juicy cherries are right at home in this little-known riff on cobbler that's cooked on the stove instead of in the oven.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds cherries, stemmed and pitted
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup flour
¼ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon baking powder
salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cream, whipped cream or Greek yogurt for serving.

Steps:

  • Put the cherries, 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a large skillet over medium heat; you can also put the skillet on the grill or over a campfire. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the juices have released, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, a pinch salt and remaining sugar in a bowl, or pulse once or twice in a food processor. Add the butter, and process for 10 seconds or until mixture is well blended. Add the egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
  • When the cherry mixture is thickened slightly, dollop the batter over the top, and cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Cook, undisturbed, until the dumplings are cooked through, and their tops are dry (not sticky), 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or yogurt.

This cherry cornmeal slump was a delightful surprise! The combination of tart cherries and sweet cornmeal was perfect, and the texture was just right - not too dense, not too airy.
