Equipment

  • 1 Pot
  • 1 Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lima beans
  • ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • The vegetable oil should be heated over medium heat in a medium frying pan.
  • Add the garlic and turmeric after the onions have been sautéed for two minutes. Once the onions are tender and transparent, continue to sauté them. Place aside.
  • Bring three cups of water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan. Include the lima beans, carrot, sauteed onions and garlic, italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • The lima beans should be brought to a boil, then simmer for 40 minutes with the lid on over low heat. Continue cooking and checking the beans every 5 to 10 minutes if they are still firm until they are soft and tender.
  • After removing the pan from the heat, leave it alone for 20 minutes (still covered).
  • Reheat for serving. Add more salt, pepper or italian seasoning to taste.
