Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium Carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 Celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium Parsnips, peeled and chopped
• 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cubed
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, parsnips, and potatoes. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 5

Slowly add the vegetable stock and stir constantly to ensure there are no lumps. Mix in the tomato paste, fresh thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

While the vegetable mixture simmers, prepare the biscuit topping. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the simmering vegetables, spacing them evenly across the surface.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the skillet or Dutch oven to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Irish Vegetable Cobbler!
