Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound green beans
Salt to taste if desired
1 2-ounce tin flat fillets of anchovies
1 hard-cooked egg, peeled
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, preferably small or medium-size
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Trim off the ends of each green bean and if there is a ''string'' down the side, pull it away and discard.
  • Bring enough water to a boil to cover the beans when they are added. Add salt.
  • Add the beans and when the water returns to a boil let the beans cook about 8 minutes or to the desired degree of doneness. Drain and set aside.
  • Remove the anchovies to a flat surface. Add the liquid in which they were packed to a small mixing bowl. Finely chop the anchovies and add them to the bowl.
  • Finely chop the egg and add it to the bowl.
  • Cut the mushrooms into thin slices and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the juice of half a lemon and toss. Add the beans and set aside.
  • To the bowl containing the anchovies and egg add the vinegar, oil, pepper and parsley. Beat to blend with a wire whisk. Pour this over the beans and mushrooms, toss to blend.
