Cooking instruction summary:

Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil and wrap into a package.Place a wire rack on a large foil-lined baking sheet. Place the garlic packet, tomatoes, bell peppers, poblanos and jalapeo on the rack. Roast in the center of the oven, turning once or twice with tongs, until all the vegetables are softened and the peppers and onions are blackened in places, 25 to 30 minutes for the tomatoes, 30 to 35 minutes for the peppers and 40 minutes for the garlic.Transfer the peppers to a large bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let steam for 10 minutes, then uncover. Cool tomatoes on a separate plate; unwrap the garlic packet.When the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove stems, skins and seeds with a paring knife. Core and peel the tomatoes and reserve any juices. Squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins. Place the peppers, tomatoes (and juice) and garlic in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is a chunky sauce.Heat the remaining 3 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add seafood stock, vinegar and the pureed vegetables. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
