This recipe can help "keep the tradition of family meals alive," said celebrity chef, G. Garvin. He wants you to "Make it Super Simple" on Good Morning America.

Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, halved and seeded

1 yellow bell pepper, halved and seeded

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

2 15-to 16-ounce cans cannelloni beans (white kidney beans), Great Northern beans, or navy beans, rinsed and drained

2 Tablespoons capers, drained

2 anchovy fillets, finely chopped

2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

Black pepper

Directions

Rub bell pepper pieces with 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil. Place on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until charred on all sides, turning frequently. Remove from grill, place in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag. Let stand for 5 minutes. Peel peppers and slice into bite size strips; set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large pot bring water to a boil; add a pinch of salt. Add green beans. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp tender; drain. Cool in ice water. Drain again.

In a large bowl combine bell pepper strips, green beans, cannelloni beans, capers and anchovy fillets, tossing to combine. For dressing, in a small bowl whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the red wine vinegar. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Toss dressing with vegetables.
