Farm Fresh

I would like to know how to prepare fresh green beans, farm grown. I'm a city girl and have never done this..
My neighbor's mother owns a farm and he brought me approx 2 lbs of fresh green beans along with smoked ham hock. I snapped off the ends of the beans and put it all in my crock pot with onions and seasoned it with pepper and crazy salt. Did I do this correctly? Any suggestions?
Sounds good as long as you kept your eyes on them to make sure they didn't get too soggy and wilted/brown.
I personally love Giada De Laurentiis (Everyday Italian on Food Network)'s recipe. Very easy and fast to make and it's delicious! Grow your own basil during the spring/summer and you'll have it on hand whenever you need it. A definate favorite:
Sauteed Green Beans with Tomatoes and Basil
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well; set aside.
Melt the butter and oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook until the juices evaporate and the beans are almost tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and basil. Simmer 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve.
