black beans

Lentils provide similar texture and nutrition, while pinto beans are often less expensive.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Lemon juice offers a similar acidity, and vinegar is a cost-effective alternative.

Wash the black beans and add them to a pot with water and vegetable oil.

Add garlic and bring the mixture to a boil.

After boiling for a bit, add coconut milk to the pot.

Continue to add water and cook the beans until they are really soft, almost mushy, as they will be blended.

Transfer the beans to a blender with a little bit of the cooking water and blend until smooth, leaving some beans in the pan.

Strain the blended beans back into the pot.

In a separate pan, melt butter and fry some green seasoning with onions, garlic, clove powder, and 1 Maggi Cube.

Add thyme to the frying mixture and then dump it back into the pot of bean sauce.

Add a habanero pepper and another Maggi Cube, along with better than bouillon chicken base.

Let the mixture simmer until it thickens.
