About Haitian black bean sauce

Haitian Black Bean Sauce, known as "sauce pois noirs," is a flavorful staple of Haitian cuisine. It is made by simmering mashed black beans with aromatics such as garlic, onions, and thyme, often enriched with coconut milk or oil for added creaminess. Spices like parsley, cloves, and occasional chili peppers lend deep, earthy complexity. Traditionally served over rice, this dish is both hearty and nourishing. Black beans are an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and magnesium, making the sauce a healthful choice for vegetarians and omnivores alike. However, depending on preparation, added oils and coconut milk can increase its fat content, so portion control is key for maintaining balanced nutrition. As a cornerstone of Haitian culinary heritage, Black Bean Sauce is celebrated for its rich flavors and wholesome ingredients, connecting tradition with healthful eating.
