Green Beans with Brown Butter Glaze

Ingredients:

• 700 g thin green beans, ends trimmed
• 60 g unsalted butter
• 1 sprig of oregano + 1.5 tsp finely chopped leaves
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes + extra for serving
• Flaked salt, for serving

Preparation:

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water. Let cool, then drain.
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the oregano sprig and red pepper flakes. Cook, swirling the pan, until the butter is golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Add the green beans and 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt.
3. Continue to cook, stirring, until the green beans are glazed, 2-3 minutes. Remove the oregano sprig, then add the oregano leaves to the pan and stir. Season with salt and red pepper flakes.
