- 1.5 cups Dried red kidney beans
- 5 cups Water(divided)
- 1 medium Shallot(diced)
- 4 Garlic cloves(crushed)
- 1 Scallion(chopped)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Chicken bouillon cubes
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
- 1 tsp Black pepper(or to taste)

👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Rinse the dried red kidney beans under cold water. Soak them overnight or for at least 3 hours. Drain and rinse again.
- 2
Place the soaked beans in a large pot with 4.5-5 cups of fresh water. Add the crushed garlic cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are very tender. Add more water if needed.
- 3
Once the beans are cooked and tender, reserve about 2 cups of the bean cooking liquid. Drain the remaining beans.
- 4
In a blender or food processor, combine half of the cooked beans with the 2 cups of reserved bean liquid. Purée until smooth.
💡 Profitipps: For an extra smooth sauce, you can strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any skins. - 5
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced shallot and chopped scallion, sautéing until softened and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
- 6
Pour the puréed bean mixture back into the saucepan. Add the remaining whole cooked beans. Stir in the chicken bouillon cubes, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and chopped parsley.
- 7
If using, add the pierced scotch bonnet pepper for a subtle infusion of heat and flavor. Stir everything together and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- 8
Remove the scotch bonnet pepper before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over white rice.
💡 Profitipps: Sos Pwa Wouj is also excellent with mayi moulen (cornmeal) or as a side to grilled meats.
