Barbunya Pilaki (Turkish Style Borlotti Beans)

I cook for myself and my boyfriend, and sometimes small family gatherings. I tend to improvise often but am trying to be more controlled and organized to get consistent results with recipes.

1 kg fresh borlotti beans, podded (c. 450 to 500 g/2½ cups podded weight), or see notes for using dried beans

100 ml extra virgin olive oil, I use a mild one

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 Tbsp tomato paste

250 g / 2 medium tomato, grated or peeled and chopped

175 g / 2 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1 cm dice

125 g / 1 medium potato, peeled and cut into 1 cm dice (optional)

1 lemon, thinly sliced, to garnish (optional)

water

salt and pepper
