Method

  1. Rinse and drain the beans, then pat dry with kitchen paper. Mix the onion with the vinegar and leave for 5 mins to soak. Mix the mushrooms and parsley into the beans, then add the onions and vinegar, oil and seasoning, then mix well.
  2. Arrange overlapping slices of chorizo over two plates and spoon the salad in the centre. Serve with crusty bread.

Choose the right chorizo

You need the eating chorizo rather than the cooking variety for this salad. The eating kind is similar in size to salami and you can buy it thinly sliced to order from the deli counter or ready-sliced in packs.

Healthy benefits

Fresh herbs contain protective plant compounds including essential oils and flavonoids. The oils in basil and mint are anti-microbial, helping reduce the risk of food poisoning, whilst the flavonoids in parsley are anti-inflammatory and protect cells from damage. Herbs, when fresh, are useful sources of vitamins A, C and K as well as iron and potassium.

    A little more seasoning would be great and perhaps some more beans but otherwise this was very tasty and quick to prepare too! Fab!

    Message for Kermie!! Re the lack of garlic in the list of ingredients, it puzzled me for a moment too, but then it dawned on me that the garlic element must come from the chorizo!! I suspect it's probably dawned on you too by now. Haven't tried it yet, but fully intend to very soon - looks scummy!

    I think there was far to much red onion in this, so I just used half a small red onion and also added two gloves of crushed garlic. I used black eyed beans as didn't realise that I didn't have any cannellini beans. We really enjoyed it - anything with chorizo gets my vote!

    For a vege version (apart from leaving out the meat) marinate a few whole cloves of garlic in a liquor of EV olive oil and red wine vinegar for ca. 2 hours beforehand, then add to the rest as you're preparing it. Never use garlic without either cooking or marinating it. I like a small amount of fresh rosemary in this type of salad, but I'm lucky enough to have a rosemary bush. Don't use dried herbs in a salad.
