ROMESCO SAUCE
Romesco is a rich Spanish sauce of charred tomatoes and roasted red peppers, puréed and thickened with toasted almonds and bread. The flavors are further sharpened with the addition of raw garlic, vinegar, chile powder or red pepper flakes (adjust the heat to your liking). The result is a smoky, pungent sauce, one usually served with mild-mannered vegetables and fish. (Some Spaniards say that a grilled vegetable feast is just an excuse for eating romesco.) But the sauce is just as good on a piece of toast that's been brushed with olive oil and rubbed with yet more garlic. If you have the time, let the sauce stand for an hour at room temperature before serving, allowing the flavors to meld all the more.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet, and place under the broiler at the highest setting. Broil for two to four minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to four minutes until charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Peel and core.
- Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop in the garlic cloves. When the garlic is chopped and adheres to the sides of the bowl, stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Add the toasted almonds (or almonds and hazelnuts), bread and chile powder or flakes to the bowl and process to a paste.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the pepper, tomatoes, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper. Process until smooth, and with the machine running, add the vinegar and olive oil in a slow stream, beginning with the smaller amount of olive oil and thinning out as desired. Process until well amalgamated, then scrape into a bowl.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt or chile as desired. If possible, allow the sauce to stand for an hour at room temperature before using. Serve with fish and/or grilled vegetables, or on crostini.

ROASTED FISH WITH ROMESCO SALSA
Spanish romesco sauce is made by blending roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, parsley and breadcrumbs into a smooth and smoky sauce. In this zippy weeknight recipe, the same ingredients are roughly diced to form a chunky and tangy salsa that's spooned over simply roasted fish. Good-quality red wine vinegar can be substituted for sherry in a pinch. The bread and almonds are added to the salsa at the last minute so they retain a bit of their crunch. Serve this dish with sautéed greens drizzled with olive oil, and couscous or rice if you want more a little more heft.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss the tomato, peppers, garlic, paprika, vinegar and 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
- In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the torn bread and cook, tossing often, for 3 to 5 minutes, until toasted and golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board to cool, then coarsely chop the bread into pieces.
- Carefully wipe out any crumbs from the pan with a paper towel, then add a splash of olive oil. Add the almonds and toast over medium heat, tossing occasionally, for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to the board with the bread and set aside to cool.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and place on a sheet pan or in a baking dish. Brush all over with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the bread, almonds and parsley to the tomato salsa and toss well. Spoon over the fish fillets, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and serve immediately.

KASHA VEGETABLE CASSEROLE
Kasha, a popular grain in Russian cookery, consists of toasted hulled buckwheat groats. Look for kasha in the cereal, grain, or flour section of your supermarket. You may use regular buckwheat groats, but they lack the nuutty, full flavor of kasha.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan combine 1 1/3 cups broth or water and kasha. Bring to boiling; reduced heat. Cover and simmer till all of the liquid is absorbed, allowing 25 minutes for kasha (15 minutes if you use buckwheat groats.).
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt margarine or butter. Add broccoli, onion, squash or zucchini, and carrots. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or till vegetables are crisp-tender. Add kasha, basil, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
- In a small mixing bowl stir together ricotta cheese and egg. Spoon half of the kasha mixture into a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Spread ricotta cheese mixture evenly over layer in casserole. Spoon remaining kasha mixture over ricotta layer. Cover and bake in preheated 350F oven for 25-30 minutes, or till cheese is melted.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm tomatoes: This will ensure that they can hold the stuffing without becoming too soft or breaking apart.
- Use a variety of grains for the stuffing: This will give the dish a more complex flavor and texture. Quinoa, brown rice, and buckwheat are all good options.
- Roast the vegetables before adding them to the stuffing: This will caramelize the vegetables and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Season the stuffing well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't overstuff the tomatoes: You want the tomatoes to be able to hold their shape, so don't pack the stuffing in too tightly.
- Bake the tomatoes until they are tender: This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Make the romesco sauce ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the tomatoes with a variety of accompaniments: Yogurt, tzatziki sauce, or a simple green salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
Kasha-stuffed tomatoes with romesco sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover grains and vegetables, and it's also a healthy and satisfying meal. With its combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
