Grilled Berry Cobbler

Ingredients : Serves 6

•  2 cups fresh organic raspberries
• 2 cups fresh organic strawberries
• 2 cups fresh organic blackberries
• 2 cups fresh organic blueberries
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, plus 3 tablespoons (divided)
• Splash of balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chia-gel (recipe below)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 cups Galletas Maria, crushed, or Graham Crackers
• 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cups European unsalted butter, cut in pieces
• Fresh mint, or basil, only leaves, optional

Directions

Prepare grill.

For charcoal grill: Arrange medium-hot charcoals around the edge of the grill. For a gas grill: Preheat grill.

In a large bowl, combine the berries with 1/2 cup of sugar, balsamic, chia gel, salt, and spices. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place mixture in a 2-quart disposable foil pan and cover tightly with foil.

Test grill for medium heat in the center and place pan in the center of the grill.

Cover and grill for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, for the topping, combine crackers, flour, and sugar. Using your hands or a pastry blender, add and combine butter to the crackers mixture. Combine well until achieving a coarse crumbs appearance.

Uncover pan. Sprinkle topping over fruit mixture. Cover grill and let cook for 15 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and fruit has thickened. (If you are using a gas grill, reduce heat to medium, adjust to indirect heat and proceed to grill as above.)

Remove from grill. Let it cool on top of a wire rack for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or the one of your choice, and chopped fresh herbs (if using).
