Oven-Roasted Salmon with Green Romesco Sauce

Romesco, a Spanish pepper and nut-based sauce, is typically made with red bell peppers, producing a bright red and flavorful summery sauce.

Harissa-Stewed Butternut Squash

For Christmas, I received the Toro Bravo cookbook and although there are many pages ear-marked, this is the first recipe I've made from it. And I have to say, although I deviated a bit from the recipe (and took some shortcuts), this was delicious! I did add some yellow bell pepper and (full disclosure) I …
