Preparation and cooking times
Ready in around 35 minutes- Mix together the beans, onion, garlic, parsley, tapenade or olives and lemon juice. Dress with some olive oil and seasoning, then leave to stand for half an hour or more.
- 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.
- 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.
