Battle of beans!

I got a present , home planted, beans! So I started a battle of beans myselft
Beans tomato, basil salad

beans with smoke salmon, oliver cream cheese in pita


prosciutto wrapped beans, pan seared. poached eggs and Hollandaise  sauce, crispy prosciutto crumbles 
( I made the Hollandaise   from scratch!)

Green beans tempura with tempura dipping( mirin, ponzo) 

I think , most of the places where you use asparagus, you can replace with beans, but beans have to be cooked in water until tender.And they come out good
Hollandaise  , first time, not very successful, I think, maybe too much butter, so the color is too yellow.
Hollandaise sauce is to use double boiler cook egg yolks and acid(vinegar) until emulsion formed, then carefully add melted butter as whisked.usually add some cayenne pepper
Mayo is made from egg yolks and oil
