Gather @black bean{2%can} and @fresh thyme{2}.

Blend the beans with their liquid, @garlic{4%clove} and @coconut milk{200%ml} until smooth.

Pour the blended beans into a pot with the thyme sprigs and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a silky sauce, about 15 minutes. ~{15%minutes}

Meanwhile, bring salted water to a boil in a second pot for the @cornmeal{300%g}.

Rain the cornmeal into the boiling water in a thin stream, whisking constantly so it can't clump.

Reduce the heat to low and cook the cornmeal 25 minutes, stirring often, until thick, smooth and pulling away from the side of the pot. ~{25%minutes}

Pull the thyme sprigs from the bean sauce and season it to taste.

Mound the cornmeal on plates, flood generously with the bean sauce, and finish with sliced @avocado{1}.
