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.

TOMATOES WITH BASIL AND ANCHOVIES



Tomatoes With Basil and Anchovies image

A great tomato salad starts with great tomatoes. Buy ripe tomatoes in season from the market or farm stand, or, even better, pick them straight from the garden. The anchovies (they are rinsed briefly to tame them) are an important feature, the perfect counterpoint to the tomatoes' sweetness. Add a large handful of aromatic basil leaves just before serving.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, diced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar or sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
12 anchovy fillets
1/2 cup milk (optional)
3 pounds ripe tomatoes, any size, cut in wedges, slices or halves
1 1/2 cups basil leaves, not too big, washed and dried
Pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: Put garlic, shallot and vinegar in a small bowl. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put anchovies in a small bowl and cover with milk. Leave for 5 minutes, then carefully rinse with water and blot with paper towels. (Alternatively, skip the milk and simply rinse anchovies with water and blot.) Transfer to a small plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 1/4 pounds haricots verts, trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Cook beans in medium pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water to cool quickly. Pat beans dry. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.)
  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans and half of almonds and toss until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season beans with salt and pepper. Transfer beans to platter. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your dish is packed with flavor.
  • Use fresh haricots verts. Frozen haricots verts can be used in a pinch, but fresh haricots verts will have a more crisp texture and better flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to use anchovies. Anchovies add a salty, briny flavor to the dish that really enhances the other ingredients.
  • Cook the anchovies until they dissolve. This will help to distribute their flavor throughout the dish.
  • Add the haricots verts at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a light lunch. The combination of tomatoes, haricots verts, and anchovies is simply delicious. Give it a try and see for yourself!
