Savory Green Tomato Cobbler

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Cut onion in half and slice thinly. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook onions slowly, stirring every few minutes, until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer onions to a large mixing bowl to cool.
3. Clean and remove any stems on tomatoes, and cut into large chunks. Add to the mixing bowl along with remaining filling ingredients. Gently stir the mixture without squishing the tomatoes. Pour this mixture into a 9-inch square casserole dish or pie pan.
4. To prepare the biscuits, mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut butter into tiny bits, and add to flour. Using your hands, work the butter into the mixture until it forms crumbles of dough.
5. Add 1 cup of grated cheese and diced jalapenos, stir to distribute evenly into the flour mixture. Add milk (starting with one cup) and stir to combine. Add more milk if needed. The texture should be fairly sticky.
6. To assemble, drop 1/2 cup dollops of dough on top of the tomato mixture. Allow space between each biscuit for spreading. Top each biscuit with a sprinkle of grated cheese and a dusting of cornmeal.
7. If you have extra dough, make a few drop biscuits on a lined baking sheet (bake for about 25 minutes) to snack on.
8. Bake the cobbler for 45-60 minutes, or until the tomatoes are bubbling and biscuits are nicely browned. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
