Forget about fruit crumbles. A savory version of this popular dish is just as delicious as a fruit crumble made with garden berries and fruits. Tomato crumble is the perfect side dish for lunch or dinner, and will captivate your senses with caramelized cherry tomatoes, crispy pieces of pastry, and the taste of sun-ripened delights. The tart is made with gluten-free flour but can easily be made with regular wheat flour by substituting the gluten-free flour.

Ingredients
For the Pastry (Dough):
- 150 g gluten-free oat flour or Schär Wholegrain Flour (Dunkel)
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp salt flakes
- Black pepper
- 120 g cold butter, diced
- 30 g freshly grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp cold water
For the Tomato Filling:
- 650 g cherry tomatoes (in various colors)
- 2 tsp cornstarch (heaping)
- 1 tsp salt flakes
- Black pepper
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 10–12 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tsp garlic powder
-
Method
-
1Preheat the oven to 175°C (fan-assisted).
-
2Mix all the dry ingredients for the pastry in a bowl. Add the cold butter, cut into small cubes, and crumble it with your fingers until the mixture resembles moist sand. Add the parmesan and crumble the dough a bit more so the cheese is evenly distributed. Add water and bring the dough together with a fork until it just starts to form a dough.
-
3Place the dough in a bowl and cover it with cling film. Put the dough in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
-
4Halve the tomatoes and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with cornstarch and stir to coat. Add all the remaining filling ingredients to the bowl of tomatoes and stir gently so everything is evenly combined. Pour the tomato mixture into the Non-Stick Ceramic pan, spreading it evenly.
-
5Take the dough out of the fridge and distribute it in small clumps over the tomatoes.
-
6Bake the tomato crumble for about 50-55 minutes until the dough is golden and the filling has thickened and caramelized.
-
7Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
TIP: If you have a food processor, it’s quicker and easier to make the dough. Follow the same instructions, but pulse everything together in the food processor a few times.
