Don't remember where this came from, but every single person (except 13 year old daughter, but then again, she is allergic to green stuff !) loves this. Don't let the anchovies scare you, they cook down! Even anchovy haters love this recipe.
Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs green beans, ends trimmed
1/4 cup olive oil
3 -4 whole garlic cloves
3 -4 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/2 cup green olives, pitted and halved
1/3-1/2 cup pimientos or 1/3-1/2 cup roasted red pepper, strips
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt
Directions:
1. Blanch green beans in very salty water until crisp-tender.
2. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to cool briefly.
3. In a large skillet heat olive oil until hot.
4. Add the garlic cloves and the anchovy fillets and saute briefly.
5. Add green olives and pimientos and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Add the green beans, crushed red pepper and salt, to taste. Continue to saute until green beans are hot and the flavors have come together, about 4 to 6 minutes.
7. Serve hot.
