Savoury Tomato Cobbler

Call me the Queen of Cobblers because this Savoury Tomato Cobbler is delicious!

It’s been quite a while since I posted on here, and of course, it’s a recipe I’ve been testing for a good long while. Lately it’s taken me ages to test a recipe over and over, I think because I’m so paranoid about food waste I know that I’ll get sick of a certain dish if I make it too many times in a row. But I always come back for this beautiful savoury tomato cobbler! If you’ve been here for any amount of time at all, you’ll know that I’m a HUGE fan of cobbler. I don’t know what it is about a jammy layer and a biscuit layer, but cobblers are probably one of my favourite forms of food. My past cobblers have used blueberries and apricots, but this time around I wanted to experiment with some ways of making a savoury cobbler with grape tomatoes.

This year I’m partnering up with Produce Made Simple to share tons of produce information and goodness with you, and you know I will take any opportunity to share the fruit and veggie love whenever I can. These gorgeous red beauties are greenhouse grown in Ontario because the outdoor growing season in Ontario isn’t very long, so there are amazing growers out there who have built upon years of research and development to grow beautiful produce for Canadians even when it’s winter outside. If you’re new here, I’ve done a TON of recipes with Produce Made Simple and they are my go-to resource for all things fruit and veg. From how to know how to store tomatoes (not in the fridge!), to how to clean mushrooms (water is totally fine!), pretty much any of the produce knowledge comes from working with them.

So if you want to learn it from the experts themselves, please go check out Produce Made Simple and enjoy reading through all the produce articles. The produce nerd in me is super into learning everything I can about a specific vegetable, and they have tons of vegan recipes too (not all are vegan, but they have a lot of them!)

mixing herbs in a bowl with flour and a fork

This savoury cobbler begins with simplicity: flour, spices, herbs and vegan butter. Smush it all together until you have pea sized chunks of butter squished with the flour mixture until you have a bit of shaggy dough. Add soy milk and give everything a good mix until you have a lumpy batter. I initially baked this recipe to create a fairly dense, very scone-y type texture, but I found that the tomatoes needed a bit of a softer, more tender cobbler to go along with it.

Despite spooning out the batter into cobbler-like placement, it’ll bake up to be fairly flat and smooth, but the breaks in the dollops of dough help with serving later on. With plenty of garlic, spices, and a nice pat of vegan butter and some heat to coax the natural sweetness of these grape tomatoes, and you have the perfect jammy layer to pair with the herbed cobbler. It’s been one of my favourite things to make anytime I catch some grape tomatoes on sale.unbaked cobbler

I’m sure you’re wondering why I haven’t mentioned the fact that we got MARRIED! I haven’t been very good at talking about it much here, but the event has come and gone, it was magical and amazing and we felt so loved and supported. I’ll post more of an update and overall summary of the whole wedding soon, but for now, if you want to see photos, they’re over on my personal Instagram :)  (Although I have a few on my main TheVietVegan account too). I’ve had to take a bit of a break from recipe development because my eczema kind of blew up after the wedding stress, but luckily I shot this before the wedding for Produce Made Simple so at the very least, here’s something delicious for you to try out!

Hummus will always have a special place in my heart. I was first introduced to Lebanese hummus when I was in university. Ottawa has a HUGE Lebanese community and most of the shawarma shops I used to frequent as a student were all run by Lebanese families.

Maybe these are fighting words, but in my experience, the creamiest hummus can always be found at Lebanese shops!

After spending way too much money and feeling guilty about all the styrofoam and plastic on takeout hummus I figured I really need to just make my own. 

Dried beans, garlic, lemon juice, tahina, olive oil and salt are all you need, and now I have unlimited hummus for a fraction of the cost and less waste.

I make this weekly batch of hummus and enjoy it with double baked pita crackers or warm naan with a very generous spoonful of chili crisp. Recipe is on my blog if you want it!

VEGAN BISCOFF TIRAMISU! 15 min of work for super easy, simple and lazy tiramisu vibes. Full recipe and instructions are on the blog, link in stories and in the bio!

Sorry in advance if the photo quality of my content goes down over the next few weeks, I had three hours to make breakfast, eat, soothe a baby, tackle some emails, then shoot and write up this recipe. So something had to give haha. One day I’ll photograph this recipe properly, but that day is not today.

Last week I woke up at 6 AM and couldn’t get my mom’s childhood chicken wing sauce out of my head. She called it “thịt gà kho”, but I don’t see any other comparable versions online. A lot of them have similar sauces but it wasn’t the same dark, sweet and sticky sauce. Luckily she shared her ratios with me, so we’ve got the sauce!

Then I started researching a bunch of different methods for making shreddy chicken seitan, and I combined a bunch of versions to try today. The flavour was almost right, but the texture can definitely be improved. BUT it was just a quick, stovetop cooked recipe, which I found extremely awesome and easy. So I think I just need to play around with some more ratios and add-ins.

Still have to test the recipe again, but putting the dinner together on the plate looked so pretty I decided I wanted to take a picture 🤩

How are vegetables just so dang beautiful!? Need to buy more mushrooms and lettuce tomorrow to test this again. Hope you all had a refreshing and relaxing weekend and are ready to take on this week🤗

If you want a similar dish to this (with a diff protein), I have a thịt nướng recipe on the blog you can try to eat bánh hỏi: https://thevietvegan.com/vietnamese-vermicelli-bundles-with-marinated-soy-curls-vegan-banh-hoi-thit-nuong-chay/

I grew up eating an absurd amount of lasagna alfredo as a kid (hello Michelina’s!), so creamy, cheesy pasta is peak comfort food for me.

Made this for dinner yesterday after editing clips of past Lisa make this for birthday eats in my very long overdue vlog that I just posted :)

Find the recipe on my blog: https://bit.ly/326eSqh

And new video is on the YouTube channel! It’s a chill cooking/birthday adventure vlog where I made bulgogi bento with japchae, kongnamul muchim, and then had many a carb for dinner 🥰

Chả giò chay is the bees knees and it’s super easy to veganize. My grandma and my mom are famous in their respective communities for their spring rolls and I hope I can live up to their spring roll legacy.

Vegan egg roll wrappers can be hard to find but you can make them with rice paper for that ultimate crunch!

Full recipe is on the blog, and yes it makes a giant batch but if you freeze them before frying, you can have spring rolls at a moment’s notice 🙌

Fried rice is still hands down the best way to use up fridge veggies! I love crumbling up tofu for my fried rice because it kind of mimics egg in terms of texture while delivering that good good protein.

I have another version of tom yum fried rice on the blog (https://thevietvegan.com/vegan-tom-yum-fried-rice) with a homemade tom yum paste but I managed to find a vegan store-bought paste that is way less of a hassle 😂

Vegan fish sauce and tom yum paste are both shown in my FAQ highlight 👍

Cooked in my cast iron pan for iron purposes but a wok is better esp if you can get that WOK HEI!🔥

In this fried rice:
🧅 half a cooking onion, diced
🥕 1/3 cup of diced carrot
🥬 2 baby bok choy, diced
🍄 1 oyster mushroom, diced
▫️ 1/3 block of firm tofu, crumbled
🔥 1 tbsp tom yum paste
🍚 ~1 1/2 cups day old rice
🍅 1 smol tomato, diced
🌽 1/4 cup frozen corn
💦 1 tbsp vegan fish sauce
👌 dash of black pepper
🌱 green onion tops
🍋 squeeze of lime for acidity
