Rice is occasionally eaten with beans alone, but more often than not, some sort of meat completes the dish. Bean purée or "sos pwa" is often poured on top of white rice. The traditional Haitian sos pwa is less thick than the Cuban's black bean soup. Black beans is usually the beans of choice, followed by red beans, white beans, and even peas. Chicken is frequently eaten, the same goes for goat meat (k"abrit") and beef ("vyann bèf"). Chicken is often boiled in a marinade called epis consisting of lemon juice, sour orange, scotch bonnet pepper, garlic and other seasonings, then subsequently fried until crispy.
