well, i didn't have any fresh ingredients on hand (we've been out of town so the fridge was bare) so i modified with garlic & onion powder and gourmet garden cilantro in a tube (great stuff!). and after rinsing the beans (which i always do to cut the sodium) i followed the lead of another reviewer and used boullion (something i've never done) and the taste was terrific!! i basically just used i tsp of better than beef boullion to 8 ounces of water, added the rinsed beans, sprinkled both powders to taste and simmered for 30 minutes so they would thicken a bit. right before i turned the heat off i added a generous spouge of cilantro paste, and presto, delicious black beans. just like spaghetti the next day, i know these will be super tomorrow. yum, yum, yummers!!
