Smoked beetroot, almond, guajillo and dill

To make the guajillo oil, deseed the chillies and toast them in a hot pan to release their natural oils

Blend the oil and chilli together in a Thermomix at 70°C for 8 minutes. Allow the chilli oil to infuse overnight, then strain the next day. It will be vibrantly red, with a nutty, slightly smoky flavour, and obviously some chilli heat too

To make the dill oil, blend the dill with the oil at 80°C for 8 minutes. It will be vibrant green. Infuse the herb solids in the oil overnight, then strain through a muslin cloth or filter coffee paper

Prepare a barbecue for direct cooking

Season each beetroot with salt and a splash each of Chardonnay vinegar and olive oil, then wrap individually in tin foil

Place the beetroots on the grill and leave them to smoke and steam for 3-4 hours until tender in the middle, topping up the coals as necessary. You can tell they are cooked by poking them with a butter knife - there shouldn’t be much resistance

Peel the beetroots and cut them into bite size pieces. Season them again with olive oil, vinegar and salt and store in the fridge until needed

To make the almond sauce, blend the almonds, ideally in a Thermomix (or another high power blender), until they release their natural oils and it becomes a smooth paste. This process takes 20 minutes

Blend the garlic, grapes and cucumber into a juice and pass through a sieve. Keep the juice and discard or snack on the pulp

Gradually combine the juice with the almond paste in a bowl, before incorporating the olive oil and Chardonnay vinegar - it should be smooth and silky and have the consistency of lightly whipped cream, so it just about holds its own weight on the plate. The flavour should be rich in almond but super fresh in acidity and sweetness. Season with salt

Heat the oil in a frying pan, then squeeze the capers dry to remove excess moisture and fry until crispy, around 5 minutes. Drain and store in kitchen paper

To serve, spoon 2 tablespoons of the almond sauce onto a plate then scatter over pieces of beetroot, followed by some guajillo and dill oils, crispy capers and the dill fronds
