Soak the beans overnight, drain, then cover beans with water. Add a vegetable seasoning cube, one at a time as needed.
Fry some onions and garlic then add to pot. Keep heat low and let simmer, just like red beans. Add salt and pepper as needed. Taste often. Add chopped cilantro (Chinese parsley) to taste and fresh chopped tomatoes right before serving. Serve with rice. I also add a dash of balsamic vinegar to each serving, for a sweet kick.
Enjoy.

In Honduras, most prefer red beans. But black beans are cheaper so we eat those too. A trick to remember for boullion cubes, veggie or chicken flavor, is to mash them with a large spoon so you can add them all at once if you like. Also adds taste to rice.
