Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a small saucepan, bring about 3 1/2 cups water to a boil.
Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add oil. Saute the onion in the oil, gradually adding 1 cup of boiling water and stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and golden brown, 15-20 minutes.

Add the lima beans and cook until they begin to soften, another 10 minutes. Add the sugar, a little salt and red pepper flakes, and the remaining water.
