I don't know that I cooked them right but I browned the garlic in olive oil and added the fresh green beans and then added about 1/4 cup of water and steamed them for a few minutes. My friend who came over for dinner said she blanches the beans and then adds the garlic and olive oil.
I don't know which is correct or if you can add other seasonings.
The beans weren't floppy and were good but they probably could have been better.
