| Cut or snap off the stems of the string beans and discard, then rinse the string beans. Cut out the stems of the peppers, then slice them open and remove the seeds and ribs, and slice lengthwise into thin strips. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and blanche the string beans with the bay leaf and lemon juice until they are tender, but still firm and crisp, then rinse them under cold water and strain. Discard the bay leaf. Fry the sliced peppers with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat, and cook until they are lightly brown. Put the string beans and peppers in a bowl, salt and pepper to taste, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then toss and serve. |
