A popular dish at the trendy restaurant Feenie’s, this side dish gets a pleasant kick from hot sauce and anchovies. Not an anchovy fan? Just add a little extra salt instead.

Make Ahead

Boil beans, then immediately drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate overnight. Continue with step 2. You may need to increase cooking time to heat beans through.
