Preparations

• Preheat your oven on 230 degrees Celsius or 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Add the almonds to a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let the almonds soak for at least 10 minutes.
• Season the tomatoes with some olive oil, salt & pepper. Once the oven is warm, you can grill the tomatoes.

The Calçots

• You could give the calçots a quick wash, but this is not necessary. Only the inside of the calçots will be eaten.
• Grill the calçots until juices run out. This may sound weird now, but will all make sense during the cooking process ;)

Romanesco Sauce

• Drain the almonds and add them to a kitchen towel. Rub the outer layer off the almonds by moving the kitchen towel back and forth.
• Mix the grilled tomatoes, almonds and all other sauce ingredients to a mortar/blender/food processor. Mix until you have a creamy orange sauce. Season with salt, pepper and maybe even more chili!

And serve & dip!
