Chorizo, Tomato and Cannellini Bean Salad

English_Rose's Note:

This Spanish-inspired salad will bring a tasty summery Mediterranean flavour to your table. The key to this recipe is really good quality chorizo and deliciously ripe vine tomatoes.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 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

Directions:

1. Put the tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the scallions and drained cannellini beans.
2. 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.
3. Heat a frying pan (without any oil - chorizo simply does not need it) and add the chorizo.
4. 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!
5. 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.

Great recipe. The flavors work together so nicely. The sea salt adds a nice bit of flavor. And, it was easy to make.
