Garnish with fresh chopped coriander and marjoram to serve.

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Add the onion, pepper, chilli, garlic, herbs, and meat and cook until softened for 5 to 10 minutes.

Add the soaked black beans and the crumbled stock cube.

Add enough water to cover the ingredients.

Simmer gently over reduced heat for 2 to 3 hours until the beans reach a stew-like consistency.

Season with salt and pepper and remove herb branches and the meat hunk before serving.
