Method

  1. Put the shallots and vinegar in a small bowl and leave to soak. Steam or simmer the beans until tender, about 4 minutes. Cool under running water and drain. Put the beans on a large platter.
  2. Heat a frying pan and add the almonds and a knob of butter, cook, stirring until the almonds brown, salt well, and tip over the beans. Fry the chorizo until it begins to brown and give off oil. Drain the oil and tip the chorizo onto the beans. Add the shallots and parsley and pepper and toss everything together.

    I love having access to your recipes but is there anyway you can give a calorific value as in the Good food Magazine? It would be very useful.

    I agree with Maria. I would like to know the number of calories. However, this does not stop me from using your inspiring recipes!

    Delicious! I threw in some tomatoes that needed using and swopped red onion instead of shallots and this was very tasty, I will definitely make it again.
