Green Tomato Pandowdy
 
 
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 6 pounds green tomatoes, sliced ½ inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar, divided
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Salted Butter Crust (recipe follows)
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • Vanilla ice cream, to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes and lemon zest and juice; toss well. Add flour, ½ cup turbinado sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt; toss gently to coat tomatoes. Transfer to prepared skillet.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll Salted Butter Crust into a 15×8-inch rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Cut dough into 14 (2½-inch) squares. Shingle dough squares on top of tomato mixture, leaving open spaces to let steam escape. Brush milk onto dough, and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and press crust pieces down with the back of a spoon so some juices come up over crust. Reduce oven temperature to 375°, and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes more. Let cool for 20 minutes. Serve with ice cream.
