2 large yellow onions -- sliced
1 garlic clove -- minced
3 medium carrots -- sliced
1 1/2 pounds eggplant -- cubed
1 pound green beans

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and carrots, and saute until softened, 5 to 10 minutes.
