1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and set aside.
3
Make the Bagna Cauda
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine olive oil and butter. Add minced garlic and anchovy fillets. Cook, stirring until the garlic is fragrant and the anchovies have dissolved, about 5 minutes.
4
Season the Sauce
Stir in red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, and remove from heat.
5
Combine and Serve
Toss the blanched green beans in the bagna cauda sauce until well coated. Serve warm as a side dish.
