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
- 2 tablespoon (28mL) avocado oil, divided
- 1 large onion (234 grams), peeled & diced (~1¾ cup, 205 grams)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt, divided
- 1 cup (120 grams) all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (11 grams) quinoa
- 1 teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1 gram) baking soda
- 1 cup (240 mL) 2% milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon (10 grams) poppy seeds
- 1½ teaspoons chia seeds (optional)
- 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, onions, pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt. Sauté until the onions are translucent (~10 minutes), stir occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, quinoa, baking powder, baking soda and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Add milk and egg. Whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- Once the onions are finished cooking, turn off the heat. Stir in poppy and chia seeds. 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.
