Wash the northern beans and add 8 cups of water to a pot.

Pour the beans into the pot and add the garlic and green onion.

Add a little olive oil and cook until the beans are soft, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Once the beans are soft, blend most of them with some of the cooking liquid.

Strain the blended mixture.

In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry the Haitian spice until golden brown.

Add the thyme, bell pepper with cloves, and coconut milk to the blended beans.

If using, add the Maggi cube or salt to taste.

Allow the mixture to come to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes until thick.
