Turkish Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium cooking onion, chopped
4 large tomatoes, diced
3 large carrots, quartered and sliced into bite size
4 cups cooked red kidney beans (I soak my beans and boil them the day before in the same water that I soak them)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed
salt and pepper
5 chopped garlic cloves
chopped cilantro or chopped parsley

Preparation

Heat oil in a large pot and add the carrots and saute for about 6 min (add water if needed instead of using more oil).
Then add the onion and saute for a couple of minutes.
Next add all the ingredients in except the garlic and parsley and saute at high until it begins to boil, then reduce to low heat.
After reducing to lower heat add the garlic (the garlic flavour penetrates the ingredients much better this way) and simmer until the carrots are done.
Take of the heat and add the cilantro and serve with or over rice and a side salad.
