Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
4 scallions, sliced on the diagonal
1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
9 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced
1 bunch flat leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put the tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the scallions and drained cannellini beans.
  • Season with sea salt and a little freshly ground black pepper; then drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar and mix to combine.
  • Heat a frying pan (without any oil - chorizo simply does not need it) and add the chorizo.
  • Cook gently for a couple of minutes on each side. The chorizo will secrete a lot of oil. Do not throw it away! It is delicious if you want to fry a few potatoes in it. Or, add some of the oil to the salad!
  • To serve; transfer the tomato, bean and onion mixture to a serving dish and top with the hot chorizo. Scatter over the chopped parsley and serve at once.
