Instructions

1. Fill a stockpot halfway with water, salt it generously and bring to a high heat.
2. Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them in a colander.
3. When the water boils, add the green beans. When it returns to a boil, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just al dente. Save some of the cooking water, then move the beans to a bowl of iced water. Once cool enough to handle, lay them on a dishcloth and pat dry.
4. Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with the olive oil. After a couple of minutes, add the baguette slices and garlic cloves and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly golden all over. Remove from the pan and turn off the heat.
5. In a tall container, combine the fried bread and garlic, the roasted red peppers, cumin, white wine vinegar and 120 ml (1/2 cup) of the reserved cooking water. Blend with a hand blender until smooth.
6. Reheat the same pan with the olive oil over medium heat. After a couple of minutes, add the green beans and stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Add the puree, season with salt and pepper, mix well and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
