Serves: 4
75g blanched almonds
1kg ripe medium tomatoes, chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 red romano pepper, roughly chopped
3 tender celery stalks (from the centre of the bunch), chopped, leaves reserved
1 small garlic clove
2 salad onions, trimmed and chopped
1 tsp celery salt
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
1 tsp finely grated fresh horseradish
5 shakes Worcestershire sauce
3 shakes Tabasco sauce, or to taste
1. Cover the blanched almonds with hand-hot water and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Drain well and tip into an upright blender with ½ the tomatoes and 2 tbsp oil. Whizz until as smooth as possible.
2. Now add the remaining tomatoes and the pepper, celery stalks, garlic and salad onions; whizz until finely chopped, but not completely smooth. Add the remaining ingredients. Blend for a few seconds, then season with black pepper. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or up to 48 hours. Stir well before serving as a starter in chilled bowls or glasses, garnished with celery leaves and drops of the remaining oil.
