Green beans are a classic vegetable side, but the fresh, sauteed versions often get overshadowed by heavier, richer dishes. This simple yet elevated recipe takes the humble green bean to the next level, combining the fresh crispness of sautéed beans with the depth of flavor and light umami of anchovy breadcrumbs.

Ingredients

5 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
16 oz. fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
5 garlic cloves, finely minced, divided
2 Tbsp. light soy sauce
1 Tbsp. anchovy paste
1⁄2 cup panko breadcrumbs
pepper to taste
1⁄4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese
lemon wedges

Instructions

Step 1
In a large pan over medium heat, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Once oil is hot, add green beans and sear for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Step 2
Turn the temperature to low. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and allow to cook for about 3 more minutes. Add soy sauce and mix. Allow the green beans to continue cooking slowly and staying warm while you prepare the breadcrumbs.


Step 3
In a separate pan heat the remaining olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the anchovy paste and stir until they melt into the oil. Add remaining garlic and some black pepper and stir a couple of minutes.


Step 4
Add breadcrumbs and cook until deeply fragrant and well toasted. Remove from the heat.


Step 5
Cool and combine with the parsley and cheese.


Step 6
Sprinkle anchovy breadcrumbs over green beans. Serve with lemon wedges.
