Green Beans With Anchovies Recipes

GREEN BEANS WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER

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.

TRAY BAKED SALMON WITH OLIVES, GREEN BEANS, ANCHOVIES AND TOMATOES

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
