- To toast the pine nuts; add to a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Keep the pine nuts moving frequently by stirring or tossing, being sure that they are getting turned over. As soon as a bit of colour is beginning to show, remove them to a paper towel and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Trim the green beans and slice the garlic. If it is easier to crush the garlic feel free to do so.
- Return the frypan to the heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Add the green beans and saute until tender (2-4 minutes). Add the wine and stir. Add the oregano and the butter. Saute for 1 minute.
- Transfer to serving plate and garnish with the toasted pine nuts.
