Green Beans With Anchovies Recipes

Steps:

• Tail the green beans, blanch them until tender in salted, boiling water, and drain. Put in a bowl with the cherry tomatoes and the stoned olives. Toss in the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Give the salmon fillets a quick wash under the tap and pat dry with kitchen paper towels. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the fillets, on both sides, then season both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Preheat the oven and a roasting tray at the highest temperature. Put your 4 fillets of salmon at 1 end of the roasting tray. Toss the basil into the green beans, olives and tomatoes and place this mixture at the other end of the tray. Lay the anchovies over the green beans. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and serve with lemon quarters.
• This is very tasty with some homemade mayonnaise or aioli.
• Smash up the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle (if you don't have a mortar and pestle you can very finely chop the garlic). Place the egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Then start to add your olive oil bit by bit. Once you've blended in a half cup of the olive oil you can start to add the rest in larger amounts. When you've added it all, you can add the garlic and lemon (to taste) and any extra flavors such as basil, fennel tops, dill, chopped roast nuts. To finish just season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice. Yield: 8 servings

Steps:

• Rinse anchovies, drain them well, and chop them finely. In a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add the anchovies, and stir until they fall apart and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Steam the green beans until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on their size. Drain well, return the beans to the pan, and place over low heat. Add the anchovy butter. Stir for a minute or 2 until beans are hot and thoroughly coated with butter. Transfer them to a warmed serving dish, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer mixture to a small bowl.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat in the oil. Leave undisturbed over medium heat for 2 minutes to encourage charring, then stir and cook, tossing every 2 minutes, until most of the beans are shriveled, about 6 minutes longer.
• Reduce heat to low and add the shallot mixture and anchovies. Cook, stirring, until well incorporated and anchovies dissolve, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oil and shallots in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally, until shallots are lightly browned and starting to crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer half of the oil from the pan to a small bowl. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, and add green beans. Season with salt and pepper and cook, without tossing, until lightly charred and blistered on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Give them a toss, and cook, another 3 to 4 minutes, until just tender and cooked through.
• Add butter and anchovies, and season with salt and pepper. Add kale, and toss to coat until greens are wilted and tender and butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and add vinegar, tossing to coat. Season with salt, pepper and more vinegar, if needed.
• Transfer to a large bowl or platter and drizzle with reserved shallot oil. Scatter with fried shallots and flaky salt, and serve.

Steps:

• Steam or boil the beans for 6-8 mins, until just tender. Drain and cool under running cold water. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 4 mins, then cool under running cold water. Crack and remove the shells.
• Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, sugar, oil and a little salt and pepper in a small bowl. Divide the beans between 6 plates. Halve the eggs and set one half on each pile of beans, topped with a couple of anchovy halves. Drizzle over the dressing and some freshly milled black pepper, then serve.
