This time anchovies are not optional. They're an integral ingredient here, and it's worth seeking out quality brands. We love the oil-packed ones from Ortiz, Agostino Recca, and Merro.

    8 servings

Ingredients

4 oz. haricots verts or green beans, trimmed
Kosher salt
2 lb. medium tomatoes, some sliced, some cut into wedges
