Method
step 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.
step 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.
