Green Beans with Sunflower Seeds

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

Directions

1. 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.
2. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook about 8 minutes, until the beans are crisp-tender; drain.
3. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds and oregano over the beans. Toss lightly to mix.
