• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut tomatoes, onions and peppers in half. Scrape out the seeds from the peppers. Peel garlic. Lay vegetables cut-side up on two baking sheets, and roast for 25 minutes or until tomatoes and onions are soft.
• After 25 min, move the rack to the highest position, set the oven to broil and roast vegetables for an additional 5 minutes. The tops of the serrano peppers should start to look charred (check on the veggies a couple times to make sure they don't turn too black). Remove the baking sheets from the oven being careful not to spill any of the tomato juices that have accumulated.
• Let vegetables cool down a bit then use a food processor to blend everything together along with one bunch of cilantro, 1 Tbsp of salt and any tomato juice left in the baking dish (feel free to discard tomato juice for a thicker salsa. If your food processor is small, process in a few batches then mix it all together. Let cool to room temp, then cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.

• Add the tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the red pepper flakes to a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid. Stir so that everything is coated in oil and spices. Roast in the Dutch oven, uncovered, until the tomatoes start to soften and split, about 1 hour.
• Stir and flip the tomatoes, then cook until the tomatoes, garlic and onion are all browned and very soft, about 1 hour more. At this point everything should be easily smashed with the back of a spoon. Transfer the pot to the stove and keep covered.
• While the tomatoes finish roasting, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons salt and the pasta. Cook 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain the pasta.
• Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the cooked tomatoes and carefully blend with an immersion blender, tipping the pot slightly if necessary to fully submerge the blender (or transfer to a regular blender) and blend until smooth. Bring the blended sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then add the drained pasta and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Adding more pasta water if the mixture needs to be saucier. Serve warm with a few basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

PESCADO GUISADO EN SALSA DE TOMATE (FISH IN TOMATO SAUCE)

Steps:

• Start by heating the 4 tbsp of oil in a large pot on medium high heat.
• Sprinkle each steak with salt and pepper and place them in the hot oil. As the fish is sauteing squeeze small amounts of lime juice onto each piece. This will keep the fish skin from becoming slimy during the cooking process.
• Once the fish has sauteed on one side for 4 minutes carefully turn each piece onto the other side and saute an additional 2 minutes. Continue until all sides have been cooked.
• Remove the fish onto a platter and set aside. Add the garlic, onions, and jalapenos into the oil that the fish cooked inches Saute the mixture for 5 minutes or until the onion has softened and translucent.
• Next, add the tomatoes and saute for an additional 5 minutes. Add the water and fish flavored bouillon cube. Cover and bring to a boil. Let the tomatoes boil for 10 minutes and then turn the heat down to medium low.
• Add the pieces of fish back into the pot and cover. Cook on medium low (low boil) for an additional 15 minutes. The dish is fully cooked once the fish flakes easily off of the bones.
• Enjoy!
• Note; If you love cilantro like I do you can dice up a handful and add it into the pot the last 2 minutes of cooking.
