I love this recipe...the anchovies, olives and hot pepper flakes certainly make the dish. I did incorporate the peppers rather than the pimentos. <br/><br/>We had this with grilled halibut and it was a perfect compliment. It just goes to show that green beans are capable of so much more.<br/><br/>Thank you Chef for sharing this with us!
