Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are large. Leave smaller ones whole.
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
In a large pot, add the water and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the rosemary leaves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and rosemary to the oil and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the garlic and rosemary oil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.
Add the green beans to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the green beans are tender but still crisp and vibrant in color.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
