Method

To make the dressing, warm the sherry vinegar in a small pan and add the grated cacao. Mix until the cacao dissolves into the vinegar. Pour into a small bowl, season with salt and black pepper, then whisk in the oil. Set aside until ready to use.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan). Put the tomatoes, cut-sides up, on a small baking tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes or until slightly browned but still firm.

Meanwhile, put the lentils in a pan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil then simmer for 15–20 minutes until just tender. Blanch the beans in a pan of boiling, salted water for 3 minutes until just tender, then refresh under cold water to hold their colour.

Drain the lentils, then toss with the garlic and cacao dressing. Season.

Fold the beans and parsley and most of the roasted tomatoes through the lentils. Garnish the top of the salad with the remaining tomato halves, and serve.
