List of Ingredients




- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons shelled sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano,
or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano



Recipe



Snap the ends off the beans. If they are very young, leave
the beans whole; if large, break the beans into 2-inch
lengths. Place the beans in a saucepan; add 1 cup water
and the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Cover and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a simmer, and
cook about 8 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender; drain.

Sprinkle the sunflower seeds and oregano over the beans.
Toss lightly to mix.
