1. Heat oven to 180C.
2. To make romesco sauce, place tomatoes, chilli and garlic on a baking paper-lined oven tray and drizzle with 50ml olive oil.
3. Roast for 10–15 minutes until vegetables are soft and just starting to colour.
4. Remove from oven and place in a food processor with roasted capsicum. Blend until smooth.
5. Lightly toast ciabatta, add half to the vegetables and pulse to combine.
6. Place sauce in a small stainless steel bowl, then mix in hazelnuts, remaining olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper, and set aside.
7. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil over a high heat. Add beans and blanch for 40–50 seconds. Remove beans from pot, drain and place in a serving bowl.
