Method

  • To make the cobbler dough. Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Add the vegan butter and use your fingers to manipulate until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the milk to form a dough.  Leave in fridge until ready to use.
  • Heat the oil in a large oven proof pan/Remoska Tria and once hot, add the onion, celery, pepper and chillies.  Cook over a medium heat until they soften.
  • Stir in the garlic, bay leaves, lentils, ground pepper and ground cumin, then add the vegetable stock.
  • Bring to the boil and then lower to a simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the Kidney beans, sweetcorn and coconut milk and leave to simmer and reduce for roughly 20 minutes until the red lentils have softened.
  • Take the dough mixture and divide into roughly 8-10 pieces.  From into small balls and flatten slightly before placing them on top of the Veggie Chilli mix.
  • Cook in Oven at 180 degrees for 25 minutes or with Tria Oven lid for 30 minutes.
