Serving Size: ½ cup
Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans
1 cup water
¼ cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 TBSP sunflower seeds, shelled
1 tsp chopped fresh oregano
Instructions:
1. Snap the ends off the fresh green beans. If they are very young beans, leave the beans whole. If the beans are large, break the beans into 2-inch lengths.
2. Place the beans in a saucepan. Add 1 cup water and the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook about 8 minutes or until the beans are crisp-tender. Drain.
4. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds and oregano over the bean. Toss lightly to mix.
