Directions:

  1. Soak beans and 5 cloves of garlic in 6 cups of water overnight.
  2. Add coconut milk and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 min.
  3. Add the other 5 cloves of garlic, plus the onion, scallions, carrot, thyme, and scotch bonnet pepper. Simmer for 20-25 min., until beans are soft.
  4. Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the spinners to make a dough just wet enough to not stick to your hands. Knead for 2 min.
  5. Cut dough into quarters. Cut each quarter into thirds. Roll each piece between the palms of your hands to make long, skinny dumplings 3-3½ in. long x ¼-½ in. thick.
  6. Add ¼ cup water, coconut oil, and spinners. Cook 15-20 min. Add salt, pepper, allspice, and bell peppers, then serve.
