Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. 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.

  3. Brush tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until softened, about 6 minutes. Pour out any juices that collected in the tomatoes.

  5. Mix kasha and eggs together in a bowl.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  9. Spoon kasha mixture into the tomatoes. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese on top.

  10. Broil tomatoes in the preheated oven until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

  11. 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.
