Place beans in large bowl and coarsely mash with fork until beans stick together. Add cilantro, onion, egg white, cumin, garlic, allspice and cayenne. Mix until well blended.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is from the Vegetarian Times Cookbook. Sometimes, I don't bother making the salsa. I'll just get a jar of mango chutney or some other fruit chutney or salsa.
