Green beans with toasted hazelnut butter and anchovy

Serves 4-6 Sauces and accompaniments

Ingredients

  • 100g blanched hazelnuts
  • 31⁄2tbsp olive oil
  • 500g green beans, stalks removed
  • 6-8 anchovies, roughly chopped

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Place the hazelnuts in a small roasting tray and toast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, then roughly chop 20g. Put the remaining hazelnuts in a blender or food processor with the olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and blitz until smooth.

Blanch the beans in a pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain well.

Place the beans in a large serving dish and drizzle over the hazelnut purée. Scatter the chopped hazelnuts and anchovies on top and finish with a good grind of black pepper.
