- 1 lb Fresh green beans snap ends, 2 inch lengths
- ¼ cup Chopped onion
- 2 each Cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper freshly ground
- 1 each Crushed red pepper flakes dash

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 bean. Toss lightly to mix
