Ingredients
1 pound green beans
Salt to taste if desired
1 2-ounce tin flat fillets of anchovies
1 hard-cooked egg, peeled
¼ pound fresh mushrooms, preferably small or medium-size
Juice of ½ lemon
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
⅓ cup olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
Trim off the ends of each green bean and if there is a ''string'' down the side, pull it away and discard.
- Step 2
Bring enough water to a boil to cover the beans when they are added. Add salt.
- Step 3
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.
- Step 4
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.
- Step 5
Finely chop the egg and add it to the bowl.
- Step 6
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.
- Step 7
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.

arichoke hearts, a few black,olives and feta makes a nice one-course lunch. marinate in fridge without oil before serving
There was too much vinegar in the dressing for my taste, so I added a bit of sesame oil, but next time, because it was a nice change from salade niçoise, I will use rice wine vinegar and a dribble of sesame oil.
