Ingredients

1 lb fresh green beans or 1 lb frozen green beans
1/4 cup onion, chopped (or use frozen chopped onion)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch red pepper flakes, crushed
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, shelled
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

Snap ends off beans; cut in half if beans are large. Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the beans, onion, garlic, salt, if using, and pepper.
Bring back to a boil and then 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.
