Steps:
- For sauce:
- Line heavy large skillet with foil. Place tomatoes and chiles in skillet; cook over medium-high heat until skins begin to blister and blacken in spots, turning occasionally, about 20 minutes for tomatoes and 10 minutes for chiles. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Peel tomatoes; transfer to processor. Add chiles, onion, and garlic. Blend until coarse puree forms. Transfer sauce to bowl. Stir in cilantro, parsley, and salt. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
- For fish:
- Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Rinse fish inside and out with cold water; pat dry. Open fish flat, like a book. Rub fish inside and out with oil; sprinkle inside with oregano, salt, and pepper. If grilling, place fish, opened flat, in grill basket. If broiling, place fish, opened flat, on oiled rimmed baking sheet. Grill or broil fish just until opaque in center, about 6 minutes per side.
- Using spatula, transfer fish to platter. Sprinkle with lime juice; serve with tomato sauce and warm corn tortillas.
ROASTED WHOLE TOMATO SAUCE
This is what you've been waiting for: A sauce that can be made with fresh or frozen tomatoes that doesn't require any peeling or seeding--you don't even need to cut them up! Just toss the whole tomatoes in a pot with some onion, garlic and seasonings and let your oven do all the work. Cooking the vegetables low and slow breaks everything down to a rich flavorful base. A quick hit with a blender makes the sauce rich and smooth, without adding a bit of cream. It's so delicious you'd never guess how easy it is.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- 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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking trays with aluminum foil, raising the sides so the foil creates a boat. This will prevent juices from leaking onto the trays, allowing for easier cleanup.
- Smash garlic cloves and remove peel. Halve all the tomatoes.
- Divide garlic, tomatoes, and shallots among the prepared baking sheets. Coat with olive oil, salt, and pepper; give a toss with your hand to ensure even coverage. Flip all tomatoes so their cut-sides are up.
- Place trays into the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes, stirring and rotating trays halfway through. Remove from the oven and transfer vegetables and any accumulated juices to a bowl to cool.
- Place 3/4 of the cooled, roasted vegetables in a blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat with remaining roasted vegetables and juices. Stir in beans, Parmesan cheese, basil, and balsamic vinegar; bring to a simmer.
- While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup cooking water.
- Add pasta to the sauce in batches, coating it well with sauce before adding more and drizzling in cooking water to bind the sauce to the pasta as you go. Serve immediately.

WHOLE ROASTED PEPPERS WITH YOGURT AND FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
Bell peppers change in color as they ripen from olive, pale, and bright green to vivid yellow and red. The red ones are the ripest and sweetest. In Turkey they are roasted or deep-fried whole and served hot as a first course accompanied with yogurt or with a tomato sauce. There is no need to peel them. A long, pointed, piquant (but not hot) variety is also prepared in the same way.

Steps:
- Put the bell peppers on a piece of foil on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 3/4-1 hour, until soft and browned in parts, turning them over once.
- For the tomato sauce, heat the garlic in the oil, stirring for a few seconds only, until the aroma rises. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, and chili pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until reduced and thick. Add the vinegar towards the end. Serve the peppers whole. Do not peel them. Pass around the yogurt and the tomato sauce for people to help themselves.
- Mix 1-2 crushed garlic cloves with the yogurt and add a little salt.
- Small eggplants, one for each person, can be roasted whole at the same time and served with the peppers.
