- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water

Directions
Step 1
Start by draining and rinsing a 15 oz can of black beans thoroughly to remove excess salt.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the black beans, 3 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
Step 3
Peel and roughly chop 2 garlic cloves. Add these to the food processor.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1 teaspoon of ground coriander to the mixture.
Step 5
Add 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Salt is not included due to the low sodium requirement, but seasoning can be adjusted to taste as desired.
Step 6
Add 2 tablespoons of water to help achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 7
Blend all the ingredients in the food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Step 8
If the hummus is too thick, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Step 9
Taste and adjust the flavors as necessary. You can add more lime juice or pepper if desired.
Step 10
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
