Haitian Beans and Rice

Makes 6-8 servings

5 c. cooked black beans
¾ c. chopped onion
1-2 T. coconut oil or butter
½ t. fresh grated ginger (or ¼ t. powdered ginger)
¼ t. black pepper
¼ t. ground cloves
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 c. diced tomatoes, drained
¾ c. coconut milk
cooked rice

Fry onion in oil or butter. Add spices and fry briefly. Add beans and mash with potato masher. Some beans will be left whole or partially mashed. Add diced tomatoes and coconut milk. Cook, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness is reached (still pourable but pretty thick). Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Serve over rice.
