Time 20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 to 8 anchovy fillets
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 pounds green beans, trimmed

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.
