Green Tomato Cobbler - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, melted
4 cups green tomatoes, chopped
1 cup brown sugar, packed (either light or dark)
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup blanched almond
FOR THE TOPPING
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup light cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F Grease a 2-quart casserole.
Put the tomatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and drain in a colander.
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, brown sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, raisins, the 3 tablespoons butter, salt, cloves and nutmeg. Mix well and transfer to the casserole dish. Sprinkle with the almonds.
To make the topping: in a medium bowl, stir together the topping ingredients to make a stiff, biscuit-like dough. Scoop out the dough to make small mounds on the tomato mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tomato filling is bubbly and the topping is lightly browned. Serve warm or a room temperature with whipped cream.
