2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the beans are cooking, peel and cut the shallots into quarters. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.

3. Roast the Tomatoes and Shallots: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). On a baking tray, place the halved tomatoes and shallots. Season with fresh thyme leaves, then toss to coat them evenly. Roast for about 20 minutes in the middle of the oven, until tender and slightly caramelized.

4. Season the Beans: Once the borlotti beans have finished cooking, drain and season them with fine salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with 10g of extra virgin olive oil, stirring gently to combine the flavors.

5. Assemble the Salad: Remove the roasted tomatoes and shallots from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add them to the beans. Toss everything together with the remaining 20g of olive oil and fresh basil leaves.

6. Serve: Serve the fresh borlotti bean salad in individual plates, and enjoy the light, flavorful combination of roasted vegetables and tender beans.

Tips

• Serving suggestion: This salad can be enjoyed on its own or paired with grilled meats or a light fish dish.
• Make it ahead: If you’re preparing this salad in advance, it’s best to keep the beans and roasted vegetables separately until ready to serve. This will preserve the fresh, vibrant flavors.
