       6  slices        bacon, -- finely chopped
     1/4  cup           olive oil
       2                onions, -- thinly sliced
       2                garlic cloves, -- minced
       4                vine-ripened tomatoes, -- seeded and chopped
     1/2  cup           canned tomato puree
       3  cups          thawed frozen lima beans
                        Small red chili
                        Salt and freshly ground black pepper


In a skillet, heat the bacon over moderate heat. When partially rendered,
add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the onions, cover and cook for
15 minutes or until really tender. Add the garlic, tomato, tomato puree,
and hot chili pepper and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the lima
beans, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until they have had a chance to
absorb the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with
grilled Italian sausages or breakfast sausages.
