Ingredients

3 ripe beef tomatoes cut into wedges
1/2 red onion thinly sliced
few thyme sprigs, leaves picked
1 tbsp sherry vinegar
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
100g chorizo sliced on the diagonal

Method

Combine the tomato wedges, sliced red onion and picked thyme leaves in a bowl. Season this mixture, then add the sherry vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Allow these ingredients to sit and combine their flavours as you prepare the chorizo.
Place the sliced chorizo into a hot pan without any oil. Cook the slices until they are browned on each side. To serve, arrange the tomato salad on plates, top with the fried chorizo and spoon over a little of the oil from the pan.
