Kasha Stuffed Tomatoes With Romesco Sauce
- 6 large beefsteak tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Filling:
- 1 cup kasha (roasted buckwheat groats)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 large red onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin, or more to taste
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
- Romesco Sauce:
- 1/4 cup toasted almonds
- 1 slice sandwich bread, toasted
- 1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Cut tops off tomatoes and scoop out the core and flesh with a spoon, being careful not to puncture the skin. Reserve 1/2 cup of tomato flesh in a bowl.
- Brush tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until softened, about 6 minutes. Pour out any juices that collected in the tomatoes.
- Mix kasha and eggs together in a bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and 1 clove garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in kasha mixture; cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until kernels separate and look dry, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour vegetable broth into the skillet. Reduce heat; cover and cook until kasha is tender and broth is absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in about 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Spoon kasha mixture into the tomatoes. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese on top.
- Broil tomatoes in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Combine almonds and toasted bread in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add reserved tomato flesh, roasted red peppers, 2 tablespoons olive oil, sherry vinegar, 1 clove garlic, sea salt, and cayenne pepper; process until smooth. Spoon sauce over tomatoes.
