Anchovy Beans, or better known as anchovy sizzle beans, are the no-cook comfort food recipe that I need you to have. They work in every season, summer, winter, fall, you name it - and are just the epitome of easy, comforting and delicious. And don't let the anchovies scare you! We mitigate the saltiness with a few other ingredients, and they end up adding just a luscious depth of flavor that people will say they "just can't put their finger on."
