750 g green beans

Instructions
Bring a large wide saucepan partially filled with water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, trim beans. Once water boils, add salt and beans. Cook until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well.
Heat oil in a large frying pan set over medium heat. Add garlic and anchovy. Stir constantly until fragrant, 1 minutes. Add green beans and sambal oelek. Stir until beans are hot and evenly coated with sauce, 1 minutes. Great with Cornish Hens With Soy & Mustard Sauce.

A popular dish at the trendy restaurant Feenie's, this side dish gets a pleasant kick from hot sauce and anchovies. Not an anchovy fan? Just add a little extra salt instead.
Make Ahead
Boil beans, then immediately drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. Continue with step 2. You may need to increase cooking time to heat beans through.
