Green Bean Salad With Mushrooms

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Trim off the ends of each green bean and if there is a ''string'' down the side, pull it away and discard.

2. Step 2

   Bring enough water to a boil to cover the beans when they are added. Add salt.

3. Step 3

   Add the beans and when the water returns to a boil let the beans cook about 8 minutes or to the desired degree of doneness. Drain and set aside.

4. Step 4

   Remove the anchovies to a flat surface. Add the liquid in which they were packed to a small mixing bowl. Finely chop the anchovies and add them to the bowl.

5. Step 5

   Finely chop the egg and add it to the bowl.

6. Step 6

   Cut the mushrooms into thin slices and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle with the juice of half a lemon and toss. Add the beans and set aside.

7. Step 7

   To the bowl containing the anchovies and egg add the vinegar, oil, pepper and parsley. Beat to blend with a wire whisk. Pour this over the beans and mushrooms, toss to blend.
