Blend the beans with their liquid, garlic and coconut milk; simmer with thyme 15 minutes into a silky sauce.
Rain cornmeal into salted boiling water, whisking, and cook low 25 minutes, stirring often.
💡 Whisk first, wooden spoon later — lumps form in the first minute or never.
Mound the cornmeal, flood with bean sauce, and serve with sliced avocado.
Cornmeal and beans kept Haiti fed through everything, and mayi moulen with sos pwa nwa is the form perfected: soft polenta, silky bean purée, maybe avocado on the side. Comfort food with centuries of practice.
