This is one of those simple, comforting recipes I’ve truly come to love—introduced to me through my husband’s Haitian roots and now something I make for our little family with appreciation. Sos Pwa (bean sauce) is traditionally served with rice and is such a nourishing, easy way to get protein on the table—especially for little ones.

Ingredients (Serves 6)
- 1 cup dried black beans (soaked overnight if desired)
- Water (enough to cover beans + extra as needed)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1–2 scallions
Instructions
- Rinse beans and add to a large pot with enough water to cover by a couple of inches.
- Add the garlic clove and whole scallion.
- Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until beans are very soft—this takes time, but it’s worth it! Add water if it gets too low during cooking.
- Once beans are fully softened, carefully pour everything into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Return to the pot and simmer for another few minutes to let the flavors come together. Add salt to taste if you’d like, and more water if it’s not a slightly thinner consistency.
Wellness Notes
- Black beans are rich in fiber, iron, and plant protein—great for hormone support and energy
- Smooth and mild—perfect for babies and toddlers
- Best served with white rice
