Method
- In a medium pan, fry the shallots and celery in the olive oil over a medium heat until softened and translucent (about 8-10 minutes), then add the garlic and fry for another minute. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Slice the chorizo into 2cm rounds and fry for 7-8 minutes, then pour in the sherry or wine and cook for 4-5 minutes until the chorizo is coated in a sticky glaze. Return the shallots, garlic and celery to the pan with the butter beans to warm through, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parsley.
- Arrange the warm mixture on a bed of mixed salad leaves, top with shavings of manchego, then serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the leaves.
