  2. Preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7. Lay the tomatoes on a baking sheet, slop with olive oil and season, then roast for 6-8 minutes until the skins have blistered and started to split.
  3. Distribute the salad between dishes or tip into one big bowl. Plonk the tomatoes on top, then spoon over any remaining dressing and the tomato roasting juices.

Give it a twist

This can be made extra gorgeous by topping with grilled fresh sardines marinated after cooking in a splash of white vinegar sweetened with a spoonful of sugar. It's also good with grilled, sliced chorizo sausage.

    This recipe is delicious and very simple but it does make an enormous quantity. We served in a buffet for eight people, everybody liked it but we were still left with well over half. If I make it again I will probably only use one can of beans or possibly two.

    I agree completely with the previous comment, it was really easy, but the quantity was too much as part of a Tapas selection.
