To make Black Bean Dip

1. Soak beans overnight.

5. Add lemon juice and just enough bean water to cook vegetables thoroughly.
6. When vegetables are well done, combine with the beans and add sea salt and Tabasco pepper sauce and cook 5 minutes more.
7. Mash bean mixture, but do not puree.
8. Stir in mayonnaise and add more lemon juice and Tabasco sauce to taste.
9. Refrigerate Black Bean Dip or serve immediately at room temperature.
