Tahini Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cup sraw hulled sesame seeds260 g, divided.
• 1/4-1/3 cup neutral oil.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Instructions

1. Add one cup of sesame seeds to a dry pan over medium low heat. Stir to toast for about 5 minutes keeping an eye on it so it will not burn.
2. Remove pan from heat and start working in batches adding about third of the toasted sesame seeds to another third of the untested sesame seeds to your coffee grinder and grind.
3. You will need to stop in between scrapping the sides and bottom then grind again until you get a smooth dry paste that you can shape in your hands much like a play dough.
4. Most probably you will repeat this step for 3 times for each batch and each time will take about 5 7 seconds.
5. In your blender pour ¼ cup of oil then add the paste that we’ve already made.
6. Blend well to combine then check consistency.
7. If you feel it is too thick for your liking, turn your blender on and drizzle more oil through the opening of your blender until it reaches the right consistency.
8. Mix in salt if using, then pour the tahini in a clean container or jar with a lid.
