I see two problems with this recipe: First, what are borlotti beans? Second, they are not in the ingredients list and so no idea how much to use. In the stores here in the USA, most dried beans are sold in one pound bags -- but given the source I'm not sure that would have been
true where they were.

The borlotti bean is a variety of common bean first bred in Colombia
as the cargamanto. It is also known as the cranberry bean, Roman bean, Romano bean, saluggia bean, gadhra bean or rosecoco bean. It's a
dappled white and red bean related to the kidney and pinto beans. A common bean in Italy for use in soups or w/pasta.

Have you seen them in USA stores? Have you ever had them? Do they
taste like kidney, pinto or the small red beans I use in my chili?

I have never seen them fresh in the pod in my stores, just dried and canned.

They loose their pretty striped colours when you soak and cook dried
ones. They then look and taste like pintos.

The store was out of dried, but did have some fresh in bags. They
were not the same at all in the recipe. I don't recall why not, but I did get told about it.

There are not too many beans that are available fresh in our stores.
