• Do Ahead
• Creamy Tahini Sauce can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for up to 7 days.

Steps:

• To blanch the garlic: Add unpeeled garlic to a small saucepan with boiling water and set the timer for 5 minutes. When time is up, remove from the heat and scoop out the garlic using a small sieve before rinsing under cold water; peel it.
• Add the blanched peeled garlic to a mortar along with a ¼ teaspoon of ground sea salt. Crush the ingredients using the pestle until it turns into a paste. To this, add a tiny amount of lemon juice, about ¼ to ½ tsp., and continue mashing until it gets liquid.
• In a mixing bowl, add tahini paste, garlic mixture and the remaining lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients until very well blended and the mixture gets thick. Add cold vegetable broth, a tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached, whisking constantly. Add Baharat and whisk until well incorporated. Serve right away otherwise transfer to the fridge until needed. Yields 2/3 cup.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add milk, coffee beans, sugar and salt. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer - do not boil.
• Remove from the heat and transfer the milk mixture to a small bowl. Add finely ground coffee, Tia Maria and vanilla extract; stir well. Place wax paper on top making sure it touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming and let the mixture steep for 1 hour.
• Later, remove wax paper and discard it. Pour mixture into a fine sieve over a large bowl; discard coffee beans. Add sweetened condensed milk and stir to blend. Taste the custard and add powdered sugar if it's bitter - keep in mind that the whipped cream has some sweetness to it; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cold heavy cream and powdered sugar. With the whisk attachment on, process on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• Scoop half the whipped cream into the milk mixture and fold until mixed. Add the custard mixture to the remaining whipped cream and fold again until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into an ice cream tub, cover and transfer to the freezer until it hardens, about 8 hours.

Steps:

• SAUCE:.
• Place peppers and tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil lightly greased. For the garlic, cut off the top of the head to expose the cloves and drizzle a little oil on top. Wrap it in foil leaving a small opening for the steam to escape and place it on the baking sheet with the veggies (the garlic might take about 40 minutes to roast).
• Transfer to the oven under the broiler and roast for 20 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip the tomatoes and rotate the pan; continue broiling for the remaining time.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, add oil and when it gets hot, place a slice of bread; toast on both sides. Transfer to a cutting board to cool off.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the peppers to a bowl; cover with foil. If the tomatoes are not done, return them for another 10 minutes under the broiler. When they're done, transfer them to a bowl to cool off.
• Remove the skin from the peppers and tomatoes and roughly chop them. Tear the bread into small pieces.
• In the jar of a blender, add the tomatoes with any accumulated juices, peppers and roasted garlic. Place the lid on and process on medium speed until well blended, about 30 seconds.
• Add blanched almonds, toasted bread pieces, chopped shallots, smoked paprika, hot paprika, sea salt and black pepper. Process until the mixture is smooth. While the machine is running, take the plug out and slowly drizzle in the vinegar followed by ¼ cup of oil, emulsifying the mixture. Transfer the sauce to a bowl or a saucepan to warm up - but do NOT cook it.
• FISH:.
• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Rub the fillets with oil and season with salt. Place them on a baking sheet lined with foil lightly greased and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
• To serve, spoon some sauce onto a plate and place the baked fillets on top. Spoon more sauce over and garnish with the reserved 1 tablespoons roasted peppers, toasted almonds and fresh chopped parsley. Makes 3 cups.
