Easy Lima Beans

In a medium frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Saute onions for 2 minutes and then add garlic and turmeric. Continue to saute until onions are soft and translucent. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add lima beans, sautéed onions and garlic, carrot, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer (covered) for 30 minutes until the lima beans are soft and tender.

Turn off the heat and set the saucepan aside for 20 minutes (still covered). Reheat for serving. Add more salt, pepper or Italian seasoning to taste.
