I just steamed and then glazed some haricot vert with garlic butter, lemon zest and Maldon and it left me wanting. How do I change it up?
I love green beans but felt like the flavors just collapsed. Did I add too much butter or do I need to be more generous with what I used?

In another pan warm a sprig of rosemary, and some lightly crushed garlic cloves in olive oil until you smell them.
Remove the herb/garlic. Turn up the heat and sautee some procuitto ham cut in matchstick sizes with some chopped sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil. Simmer a bit more until the ham is nice.
Add the beans on low heat and toss the oil around the beans to coat.
Add some bread crumbs, salt, pepper..adjust seasonings.
Finish with some shaved Parmesan cheese.

Or how about some grated parmesan or pecorino and herbs (parsley or summer savoury, for example) or a little sauce made of tahini and lemon juice drizzled on top?
