How to make Haitian sauce pois (sos pwa nwa) (black bean puree)

Rinse and drain the Jack Rabbit black beans, then set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped leeks and sweet and spicy pepper; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add thyme; cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

Pour in water and add the black beans; bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mash some of the beans with a fork to thicken the sauce, if desired.

Stir in butter, salt, and Goya seasoning; adjust seasoning to taste.

Add Maggie seasoning for additional flavor, if desired, and mix well.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
