Beans in Anchovy Sauce - - Fagioli in Salsa di Acciughe

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 pounds (1 k) fresh beans (about a pound when shelled)
• 6 salted anchovies (or 12 anchovy filets), rinsed and boned
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• A scant half cup of olive oil
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Preparation:

Shell the beans and boil them until tender. Heat the olive oil, garlic and parsley in a pot, and cook, stirring, until the garlic has browned. Then remove and discard the garlic, and stir in the anchovies. Add the vinegar and simmer, stirring, for about 3 minutes. In the meantime transfer the cooked beans from the pot to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Pour the sauce over them and serve; they'll also be good cool.
