PAN ROASTED GREEN ONION ROMESCO (SPANISH)

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put a large skillet over high heat.
• Put the green onions into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss well to coat. When the pan is smoking, add some olive oil to it and immediately add the green onions in 1 layer. Keep the onions moving until they are browned on all sides but are still crisp in the middle. Put them onto several sheets of newspaper and wrap them up to steam.
• Arrange the peppers and tomatoes on a baking pan and broil, turning often, until they are black and charred on all sides. Put the peppers in a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Put the tomatoes on a board to cool a bit. Toast the bread under the broiler.
• When the peppers are steamed and cool enough to handle, peel off the skin, remove the stem and seeds, and put them into the bowl of a food processor. Peel and seed the tomatoes and add them to the food processor. Cut the toasted bread into cubes and add it in too. Add the almonds, garlic, paprika, and vinegar and start pulsing. Drizzle in the olive oil while pulsing. Taste and check the seasoning for salt and pepper. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.
• Unwrap the green onions and peel off the charred outer layer. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve them with the sauce for dipping.

HAZELNUT ROMESCO

Steps:

• To make paste, add boiling water to 2 dried ancho chili pods. Weight with a plate for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pods from water and purée, adding just enough of the water to make a paste. Pass paste through a mesh strainer and reserve.
• Cut the crusts off the bread and tear into 2 to 3 pieces. In a sauté pan over low heat, fry bread in ¼ cup olive oil until golden brown and crisp. Cool on paper towels.
• In a food processor, combine hazelnuts, garlic, bread, salt and spices. Mix until a dry paste forms. Add the ancho paste, red peppers and their juice, tomato paste, vinegar, hazelnut oil and another ¼ cup olive oil until a smooth paste forms. Adjust with oil for a thinner consistency if desired, and taste for salt and spice.
• Serve as a dip with rustic bread, or as an accompaniment to roast pork or lamb.

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place onions in a large bowl, cover them with boiling water, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain onions in a colander. When cool enough to handle, peel onions, and transfer them to another bowl.
• Add butter, fresh thyme, 2 teaspoons rosemary, and dried thyme to onions, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.

• Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in 2 1/2 cups very hot water for 30 minutes. Lift mushrooms out of soaking liquid with a slotted spoon, and strain mushroom liquid through a sieve lined with several layers of cheesecloth (to remove grit from liquid). Chop strained mushrooms coarsely. Add strained liquid and chopped mushrooms to roasting pan with onions, and stir to combine.
• Return pan to oven, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by three-quarters and onions are soft and brown, about 1 hour. Adjust seasoning; just before serving, sprinkle with remaining teaspoon rosemary.
